Publisher's Synopsis
Giverny. The home of the artist Claude Monet and the gardens where he painted his waterlilies. But there is a darker side to the peaceful French village. Jerome Morval, a man whose passion for art was matched only by his passion for women, has been found dead in the stream that runs through the gardens. In his pocket is a postcard of Monet's Waterlilies with the words: 11 years old. Happy Birthday. Entangled in the mystery are three women, all of whom share a secret. But what do they know about the discovery of Jerome Morval's corpse? And what is the connection to the mysterious, rumoured painting of Black Water Lilies?
