Description
From the blood-soaked streets of the 1870 siege of Paris, to the teargas and chaos of its student riots of 1968; from the desolate, windswept Australian desert to the appalling dank prisons of 19th-century New Caledonia, Deception tells an epic, dramatic story of a search for truth, spanning continents and generations.
