Publisher's Synopsis
The game's afoot in 1894 Montpellier, France!
An infestation is decimating the vineyards, cholera is threatening the population, and intrigue flourishes throughout the village and at its University:
- Jean-Philippe Devereaux, a world-renowned life scientist: dead
- Details of his work, a political and scientific collaboration of global import: lost
- Elizabeth Devereaux, his wife: hounded by men who will kill to recover it
At first, desperate to escape misogynistic France and her philandering husband, Elizabeth Devereaux suddenly finds herself entangled in an impenetrable plot she can't bring herself to abandon.
But can she find her answers before the killers find her?
