In 1944, after the Liberation of Paris from Nazi occupation, the French faced the painful task of having to punish those amongst them who had collaborated with the Occupier. Many took justice into their own hands; often by way of a bullet to the back of the head of a Collabo (a collaborator).
Official trials were less effective and more often embarrassing to the struggling nation; a nation which, even today, loathes to air its dirty linen in public.
Sixty years on, l'Occupation is still something the French do not wish to talk about, and in particular the trial of the serial killer, Dr. Marcel Petiot, who murdered for material gain under the cloak of war.
The thrilling biography A LIFE IN QUICKLIME tells his incredible story of murder, escape and eventual downfall. (International publication rights currently available.)
