Daddy is a novel by Loup Durand, published in 1987. Resize the code

Thomas, gifted child, just turned eleven on September 18, 1942. In the midst of World War II, he lives in the south of France, protected by his mother and mysterious bodyguards. It is indeed the key that would allow the Gestapo to get hold of 724 million Deutschmarks for resistance.

Gregor Laëmmle, a teacher of philosophy disenchanted by life, brilliant intellectual, chess player and pederast is named by the Nazis at the head of a team responsible for finding and recovering the money. Completely fascinated by the child, half in love, he will seek as much to catch it as to protect it and to monopolize it.

The gifted child and the misguided intellectual will compete throughout the novel in a kind of perverse strategic game whose hot issue will be their own lives and those of people around them, against the background of Nazism and of resistance. Adaptationsedit code Notes and edit the code
