Sinossi

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).

    Sophie saw her opportunity. She stood, charged across the room, and sat herself on Gabriel’s lap—before he could pick some other lucky contestant. She licked the side of his face and whispered in his ear. “I don’t mind a little choking. It’s nothing worse than I got at the ol’ foster home,” she grinned. “Still, I’d rather talk music.” You know what I want,” Gabriel leaned in close, a dirt smirk on his face. “I want to murder you and get away with it,” he winked. Sophie snorted. She didn’t believe it. She knew a lot of jokers, all-bark no-bite, prodding at their limits. Gabriel wasn’t really the wrong kind of guy. Sophie knew the wrong type—truly vicious and reprehensible. This strutting cock was just edgy. With a chuckle of her own, Sophie leaned in. “You know what I want,” she rubbed up against him. “I want a hundred thousand dollars and six months to spend it,” she smirked, satisfied with his jovial answer…

    Two murders, a century apart, and rumors of a lost silver cross create modern problems for Millie Whitehall.
    Botanist Millie Whitehall is making good progress surveying an old homestead until discovering the body of a missing university professor in the root cellar. Millie learns why the homestead was abandoned shortly after it was built; another horrific murder occurred inside the cabin in 1913. Rumors of a lost silver cross, a pearl in a pack rat's nest, and an old man's dying story lead Millie to uncover the link between the professor's murder and the century-old murder. But her work at the site draws unwanted attention and jeopardizes the property of being declared a National Historic Site. Millie is determined to complete her survey, even though the professor's murderer could still be around and her own life endangered.
