The sequel to An Incident of War, And Dust You Will Eat follows the characters encountered in the first book through the post-war darkness and the callous brutality engendered by their experiences. This is not a tale of happy endings, but more a brutal account of sex without love, dark fascination, and inhumanity.

A spoof detective story set in France - more concerned with the potential, in his dreams, love life of the detective than actually detecting - but written to be a fun read which leaves the reader smiling.
