Sinopse

A British judge and a naked corpse put French inspector Henri Castang on delicate, dangerous ground in this mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author. 
 
When a local businessman’s car is stolen, he’s more concerned about what’s inside—the body of his just-deceased grandmother. Then Parisian police Insp. Henri Castang is called to investigate the mysterious appearance of a woman’s body found in a car. But just when it seems like his latest case is about to solve itself, Henri discovers a baffling murder wrapped up in a simmering crisis of international relations.  
 
On holiday with his family in France, a British high court judge found a naked corpse in the boot of his Rolls Royce. Having made the discovery upon arriving for dinner at a three-star Michelin restaurant, more than a few reputations are on the line. Now Castang must unravel a web of grim coincidences, lies, and political intrigue before another victim gets the boot. 
 
This mystery from the author of the popular Inspector Van Der Valk novels combines “solid police work” with “the ever-surprising Freeling prose” for a cunning tale of crime detection set in the City of Light (Kirkus Reviews).

    She was born on the streets; he was born to rule … 
    Idella goes by one name only in the glamorous world of music. Her sultry voice mesmerizes millions, her albums have gone platinum, and her elusiveness is legendary. However, the version of herself that truly drives her goes by another name—Dallas. She’s an assassin employed to eliminate some of the worst criminals in the world. 
    Sheikh Tarek Saif-Ad-Din understands that power and money can corrupt. It is his job to ensure the safety of his people, his country, and his royal family. After an attack leaves him near death, he swears he hears the voice of an “amirat khurafiat alsahra”—a desert fairy princess. 
    Helping a wounded prince was not part of the plan. Her targets were the insurrectionists. She was supposed to prevent them from gaining control of the largest production of microchips in the world at any cost. Even if both the first and second born son die, another in the royal family would become heir and the country would stabilize. Yet—she can’t leave Tarek to die. 
    In a dangerous dance between two identities, Idella must decide if she can trust Tarek enough to reveal who she really is—a singer, an assassin, and the woman who loves him. If she can’t, this mission may be final in more ways than one.
