The
trail runs from the isolated, rugged north of Scotland, through the capital cities of London and Paris, to the glamour of the French Riviera. Arrogant complacent financial institutions provide easy pickings for clever villains. Divided loyalties, family tensions, together with some old-fashioned thuggery plus political intrigue and romance all add complexity to the police investigations. A compelling and imaginative tale involving that consummate detective Chief Superintendent Barnes. Entertaining and pacey with surprises along the way.
