Private investigator Sydney Sloane is reluctantly on vacation in France to visit with her niece Vickie. But she is unpleasantly surprised to find that not only has Vickie secretly married, but her new husband Gavin's parents were just killed in a suspicious car accident. So suspicious that the police are looking for the now-missing Gavin. Wrapped up in a murder investigation in a country where she doesn't speak the language, Sydney must find both Gavin and the truth. But someone out there is determined to stop her from doing just that...by any means necessary "Lordon keeps the pages turning, transporting readers into a world of two-hour lunch breaks on sunny, lemon-scented patios; of eating warm bread and cheese for breakfast; and, of course, of cold-blooded murder." - Booklist
