Description
A British police detective looks into sinister doings in the South of France in a crime thriller with "more than a little excitement" (
Kirkus Reviews).
Inspector Roderick Alleyn has decamped for the South of France on a family vacation-though for him, the vacation will involve some official poking around. Unfortunately, the object of his poking-the cultish denizens of a sinister and luxurious chateau-are not fond of being poked, and they have a particularly unpleasant way of getting their point across...
"Charming, cultivated, witty-and none the less terrifying...a pure thriller...you're not apt to find a better evening's entertainment." - The New York Times
