Publisher's Synopsis
When Judy Wincott asks Paul Temple to take a pair of spectacles with him to Tunis, he could never have guessed that such an innocent request could lead to so much trouble. He certainly could not have predicted it as a prelude to a body in a Paris rubbish bin and a trigger for police enquiries. Soon the novelist-detective and his wife Steve are crossing Europe and North Africa, trailing a series of murders somehow connected to a Dr David Foster and the tortoiseshell spectacles.
