The Sun Sets Twice: The Storm Breaks

It is August 1914, Europe is at war, and American artist Jennie Latmore has now been living in France for 14 years. Following the loss of her lover, Geste D'Arcourt, she moves into Suzanne de Lamothe's house in Paris. The two women care for 8-year-old Lorelei Clark; her English father, Charlie, brought her back to Paris as an infant after his young wife, Marta, died, and Suzanne has become her de facto mom. Meanwhile, Charlie, who has long dreamed of being a pilot, gets commissioned as a lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps. Although he initially flies reconnaissance missions, he is soon pulled into harrowing dogfights. Former scullery maid Suzanne is now a respectable stage actress of some acclaim. Jennie, who abandoned her portrait work after Geste's death, finds employment in a munitions factory; eventually, she becomes an ambulance driver at the front lines. Suzanne, wanting to contribute to the war effort, volunteers her house for use as a Red Cross convalescent home for wounded soldiers.A surprising twist answers the question of the ongoing murder mystery.
