Paris, 1942. The architect Lucien Bernard accepts a commission that will bring him a great deal of money-- and maybe get him killed. All he has to do is design a secret hiding place for a wealthy Jewish man, a space so invisible that even the most determined German officer won't find it. He sorely needs the money, and outwitting the Nazis who have occupied his beloved city is a challenge he can't resist. When one of his hiding spaces fails horribly, and the problem of where to hide a Jew becomes terribly personal, Lucien can no longer ignore what's at stake.

The premise intrigued me, and I wanted to see what happened through the end, but I really disliked this book. The only character that remotely interested me was phased out early on, and the protagonist was arrogant and irritating. None of the characters' reactions to events or discoveries made any sense.
