Lovable rogue and sleuth extraordinaire Sam Levitt is back.

Former corporate lawyer, wine connoisseur and expert on cultivated crime, Sam has returned to Marseilles for both work and pleasure - the lure of excitement and the pleasures of the region proving too tempting to resist.

But surrounded by gangsters and cut-throat developers, Sam finds himself far closer to danger than he had planned...

This is a charming, brilliantly plotted mystery that will delight readers of Martin Walker, Georges Simenon and Stephen Clarke.
