Cover Art (c) Roger Kopman. In desperation, she wrote, "Meet me in Paris." He would have said, "Yes." But, he never received her letter.
Who did? Bon Voyage! Les grandes vacances, the six-week summer exodus, is about to begin, taking Paris sleuth Louie Bertrand to the sunny beaches of Deauville and leaving his sleuthing partner Mrs. Duchesney alone in Paris to investigate not one, but four new mysteries! The stamp market provides a perfect setting for a shadowy figure from Moscow, whose real interest in Paris may not be collecting stamps. A cold case involving a dead diplomat and his dubious widow simply refuses to remain cold, when evidence surfaces suggesting an Egyptian statue may not be the only priceless item missing from the couple's apartment. While Louie searches for two married sisters, traveling sans husbands, Mrs. Duchesney receives a coded invitation to rendezvous with a dead poet. As if that weren't enough intrigue, both Paris sleuths are compelled to investigate one of their oldest friends, when his unauthorized biography reveals a hidden past and secrets taken to his grave. It's another busy summer of Paris Mysteries. Pack your bags!
