Synopsis

In France, a police detective hunts for an elusive killer in this novel by an award-winning author who “writes like no one else” (Los Angeles Times). In the tiny French town of Soulay, Inspector Henri Castang is dealing with a brutal robbery, a drugged teenager, and the sad delusions of a nervous old lady. But when a violent death suggests a mysterious connection to recent events in Paris Castang must untangle a mix of spiteful small-town gossip and big-city crime.This lively mystery comes from a winner of the Edgar and Gold Dagger Awards—“the most eccentric, the most idiosyncratic and the most European of crime writers” (Anita Brookner).

    Daniel L Stone's new novel is a powerful mix of suspense and paranormal mystery based on the connection between two love stories that take place 100 years apart. Both stories take place at the same manor on a beautiful island that legend said was the angels' playground on earth. The manor was built on a plateau between two tall mountains where the legend also said the angels ascended and descended from Heaven to their playground. This land was sacred and hallowed ground-not to be violated! Against this magical backdrop, the book takes a satirical look at an extremely rich and powerful couple who get caught up in the ultimate spiritual warfare. This couple is used to solving everything with logic and money and power, but they are in a situation that cannot be solved with any of the above and they risk losing everything, including their massive empire.
