<DIV><b>A woman is found butchered not far from an archaeological site</b></div><DIV></div><DIV>In the woods of the Dordogne, farmers and their pigs hunt the forest floor for truffles. It is June 1942, and one such farmer has found something unusual: the postmaster&rsquo;s wife, murdered and left to rot beneath the trees. By the time police inspectors Jean-Louis St-Cyr and Hermann Kohler arrive from Paris, she has been dead four days, and the flies have begun to feast. As Kohler combs the area, finding a picnic basket, two bottles of Champagne, and a collection of poisonous mushrooms, St-Cyr turns the body on its back. The woman has been mutilated, hacked to pieces by a blunt ax.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>She died steps from the famous Lascaux caves, an invaluable archaeological site that has attracted the F&uuml;hrer&rsquo;s attention. The SS is about to descend on the area, a film crew in tow, confounding the investigation as they swarm like the flies on the postmaster&rsquo;s wife.</div>
