Between a Rock and a Hard Place is set in the Netherlands during World War II. Jacob van Noorden is a military policeman with a wife and two children, and a third on the way, just assigned his first job as chief of a crew in a rural town close to the German border. When the German army invades and moves through his town, Jacob and his crew have no defense. They can only watch the tanks rumble by without stopping. As the Queen and cabinet escape to Britain, their last direction is for all public servants to stay at their posts, as long as it serves the Dutch nation and the occupier follows international laws. After a pro-German who slavishly follows all idiotic Nazi laws replaces Jacob's boss, all moral guidance must come from Jacob himself. As the Nazis open a prison camp in Jacob's jurisdiction but hire Dutchmen to run it, the ordeal begins. Jacob's wife, Margaret, is German-born. His mother-in-law is an outspoken admirer of Hitler. Soon he learns that his wife's twin brother has joined the Dutch Nazi Party. Stuck with his family of mixed German-Dutch heritage, Jacob joins the resistance as an informer. He is forced to deal with the increasingly disastrous events of the Nazi regime's occupation. He learns that, in the end, every action he takes, no matter how well-intentioned, has enormous, long-lasting consequences for those around him.
