And Death the Prize

by Richard Grayson

With the "Entente Cordiale "still in its infancy, the Surete had assigned Inspector Gautier to keep a protective eye on English visitors to Paris for the racing at Longchamps. But it was not the English who engaged Gautier's attention, but an Irish surgeon - Michael Breen.

Breen, feted by the ladies of Paris, is accused of a trivial assault - and almost at once Princess Helene's daughter goes missing and a shop assistant at Au Bon Marche is found dead just as Breen flees the country. Inspector Gautier is hot on his heels to Dublin, whilst a third murder back in Paris complicates the affair for all involved."

About the author

aka Richard Grindal

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.
