In 1968, Irène Laureux's husband was murdered during the Paris student
and worker riots. Thirty years later, she is still on the hunt for the
man who knows how and why Jean-Louis died – his secret lover, Frederick
Dubois.
Aiding in her search is American expat Martin Paige, a
writer still reeling from a love affair gone wrong with a student, David
McLaren. Martin meets a young poet, Christian, and the two fall in
love, but their happiness is shaken when Martin's friend, Diane Jacobs,
arrives in Paris with news that David has gone missing.
Diane
discovers that David's disappearance is more than just a missing person
case with connections to drugs, stolen identities, long-hidden
government secrets and a shocking connection to Irène's past. This
literary mystery takes readers from America to London and into the dark
underworld of the fabled City of Light.
