The Pale Pavilion

By Elliott M Clayton

Normandy 1931.
A washed up writer, Henry Vale, is invited to a wintery reclusive artists retreat led by an enigmatic patron.
All is not as it seems. Some guests react mistrusting of Henry, some react almost violently.
Henry begins to suspect his role here as a victim of WW1 is more than just academic. Especially when he becomes embroiled slowly with the life of a young woman also in residence. The mysterious and elusive Claire D'Orsay.
For Henry Vale, what seemed like a quiet winter confronting his own challenges and overcoming a blocked brain, he will end up in the eye of a secret storm, a pawn in a powerful man's private war - and falling for a woman who tries, at first, to evade him. The stakes could not be higher. France herself may even be at stake.
