The Desert Foxes
The most remote place can hide the greatest secret.
Two foxes and a secret: Morice is the boy destined to reveal it. At eleven, he has just moved to Dautreme, a remote village in Corsica. While his parents run the decaying Hotel Napoléon, he goes around recording the sounds of the sea. At least, that’s the plan, until one afternoon he meets Audrey, a girl his age. She reveals to him the unsettling disappearance of a German sailor who lived there. And this isn’t the only mystery. Soon, Maurice and Audrey discover that the entire village is overshadowed by a dark secret that dates back to World War II. The same war in which Rommel, the Nazi general known as “The Desert Fox,” and Saint-Exupéry, the famous author of The Little Prince, may have crossed paths, triggering a treasure hunt that has lasted for forty years and leads directly to those cliffs…
- An adventure story that weaves a memorable summer of the 1980s with the great secrets of History.
- Inspired by the true mystery of the disappearance of the author of The Little Prince, who vanished during an aerial reconnaissance over Corsica during World War II.
