Synopsis

A British detective goes undercover in the South of France to investigate a suspicious death in this twisting mystery. 
 
A British ministry official wants Inspector Littlejohn to look into the death of his brother and sister-in-law who were killed in an automobile accident outside a small village in southern France. Though the French police ruled it an accident, the official isn’t satisfied. Something seems wrong.  
 
With no jurisdiction in Provence, Littlejohn must investigate unofficially. So, he and his wife decide to vacation in the area. Soon witnesses start disappearing, the couple discovers they’re being followed, and the local marquis tells Littlejohn that it may be time to go back home. But the detective isn’t going anywhere until he solves the deadly mystery that reaches back to a shooting incident from before World War II.

    Frank has read all the books about the end of the world . . . but books can't pull the trigger. 
     
     
     
    He's tried to keep the peace. He's tried to talk his way out of tight spots. And yet he still ended up with a body count fit for a warlord. 
     
     
     
    And it's only getting worse. 
     
     
     
    Frank's problem, and the problem of everyone on Clownfish Cove, is that words can't fill the stomachs of the hungry city around them. The area controlled by the neighborhood watch is the only place not tearing itself to shreds. It is the only place with food, fresh water, and a bit of hope. It is a little slice of the Old America, and jealous outsiders are desperately working together to get a last taste of it . . . 
     
     
     
    Frank has been able to keep his subdivision together for almost two weeks. Every challenge he's faced, every decision he's made, every ally or enemy created . . . will determine his fate and the fates of hundreds of his neighbors.
