A late-night phone call awakens Inspector Jean-Michel Jolivet and his irrepressible American friend, Amy a man has been found brutally murdered at the foot of the Pont Louis-Philippe. Curiously, the body has been posed theatrically, perhaps to send a message.Amy is surprised to discover that the victim is an acquaintance of hers and that she may have been the last person to see him. As she and Jean-Michel sift through codes, ciphers, and more violent murders, they uncover an international struggle for control of the new designer drug Bliss.Were it not for her deepening relationship with Jean-Michel and her enthusiasm for Paris-especially the Ile Saint-Louis and its unique characters-Amy would find it difficult to sustain what is about to engulf her and Jean-Michel.

[Florenceweinberg · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gini Anding has created a thoroughly likeable caste of characters, especially her effervescent heroine, Amy Page. Anding simultaneously intrigues us by a deft plot and affords us glimpses of French high society.
