In the winter of 1944, the newly liberated city of Naples has become an ever more dangerous place. Ruled by an ineffective Military Government, organized crime gangs thrive while ordinary citizens struggle with guilt, privation and the corruption that infiltrates every aspect of society. A small band of Field Security police is charged with establishing order. Among them is Thomas Greaves, a young Canadian lieutenant, with his own demons to exorcise. Greaves sees his time in Naples as an opportunity to make amends for a tragic blunder on the battlefield. His good intentions, however, which lead him into a friendship with the elderly curator of the National Museum and uncertain romance with the curator's beautiful but embittered assistant, also land him in the murky world of gangsters and black marketeers where the lines between right and wrong, friend and foe are hopelessly blurred. Gritty, evocative and powerful, The Fallen is a thoughtful exploration of the consequences of war and its aftermath.
