Summary:
Like the majority of gentiles in Nazi-occupied Paris, architect Lucien Bernard has little empathy for the Jews. So when a wealthy industrialist offers him a big sum of money to devise secret hiding locations for Jews, Lucien challenges with the choice of risking his life for a trigger he doesn’t really believe in. Eventually he can’t withstand the challenge and begins developing expertly concealed concealing spaces-behind a painting, within a column, or inside a drainpipe-detecting possibilities invisible to the average eye. However when one of is own clever hiding spaces fails horribly as well as the huge suffering of Jews turns into incredibly personal, he can no longer deny reality.
Written by an expert whose knowledge imbues every phrase, this story becomes more gripping with every life the architect attempts to save.
