TREVOR, Meriol - The Treacherous Paths - (Hardcover in Wrapper) *

This book belonged to a library before but survived quite well - 192 pg.    >>>   Dominique d'Erlen was one of the Luxenbourg landowners who, at the end of the eighteenth century, accepted French occupation and even joined Napoleon's army, where he had quickly risen to the rank of General. Others more patriotic left their homeland altogether or remained behind to live in the hills and forests as outlaws or brigands.   -  It is when General d'Erlen falls victim to a band of these brigands, who kidnap him for the release of two of their leaders, that the full ambivalence of his situation becomes apparent, and the loyalties of those close to him, particularly his wife's pretty young niece, Laurence, and his nephew, Ludovic, are torn between family duty and personal feelings.
