She's the youngest and smartest Homicide detective in town. So when a crooked builder is found with a chisel in his chest, and a 22 year-old cold-case cries out to be solved, Jo Best is keen-until she gets a phone call from France. Why would Jo and her crime-busting buddy, computer-whiz Michael, take off for Paris? Dealing with a French drug baron, corrupt cops, human trafficking, the English aristocracy, narrowboats and a priest hole is just for starters. There's a lunatic suicide bomber on the loose, and back home, Dad's Army has pitched camp at Victoria Police. And what the heck is happening with Jo's romantic entanglements? Has Charlotte Bronte got there first? All this and more in the biggest Joanna Best mystery ever-Book 5 in the series.
