After an aristocratic young woman is acquitted for the murder of a journalist, Inspector Gautier pursues the sinister motive for the killing among the "haute monde" of turn-of-the-century Paris
Scotland and France have always had a close affinity, so it was only natural that Richard Grayson, a Scot by birth, should have taken a special interest when reading history at Cambridge in that most colourful period of French history, La Belle Epoque. All his Inspector Gautier novels are set in that period. He now lives in London.
