La dernière des Stanfield

My life changed one morning as I opened my mail. An anonymous letter informed me that my mother had committed a crime thirty-five years earlier. The author of this letter summoned me to a fishermen's bar on the Baltimore port and ordered me not to tell anyone about this story. I had buried Mom in London at the beginning of spring; summer was ending and I was still far from having mourned her. What would you have done in my place? Probably the same mistake as me. Eleanor-Rigby is a journalist for National Geographic magazine, she lives in London. One morning, upon returning from a trip, she receives an anonymous letter informing her that her mother had a criminal past. George-Harrison is a cabinetmaker, he lives in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. One morning, he receives an anonymous letter accusing his mother of the same facts. Eleanor-Rigby and George-Harrison do not know each other. The author of the letters gives each of them a meeting in a fishermen's bar on the Baltimore port. What is the link that unites them? What crime did their mothers commit? Who is the crow and what are his intentions? At the heart of a mystery that haunts three generations, The Last of the Stanfields takes us from occupied France to the summer of '44, to Baltimore in the freedom of the 80s, to London and Montreal of our time.
