By the time they finally settled in Saskatoon, the rugged beauty of Saskatchewan had given Joan Anderson the inspiration to become an artist. With money earned as a waitress at a coffeehouse named after Folk Hero Louis Kiel, Joan bought pens and ink. She also taught herself the baritone ukulele.

She is sure that a shoe salesman in a Madison Avenue shop is really an SS man named Kiel, long defunct, with whom she had a brief liaison during the war at a British intelligence installation. Elsa's shadow falls the wrong way-always a bad sign-and she practices the kind of unpredictable tyranny that only a weak, formerly beautiful, unbalanced woman can. Elsa's husband Paul...
