Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket. It's January 1788 and Anne Cartier and her husband Paul, the Provost of the Paris Highway Patrol, are spending their winter in Nice at the home of Beverly and Thomas Parker. Paul and Anne are hoping that the warmer climate and the break from work will cure Paul's chronic cough. But when a man named Jean Lebrun escapes from a prison in Toulon, Paul cannot help but investigate. After some digging, Paul discovers that the man may have been wrongly convicted. Meanwhile, Anne is getting caught up in the sordid affairs of the expatriate community of Nice. This unsavoury group of characters may be more dangerous than Anne first thought.
