A whirlwind romance takes British sleuth Patrick Dawlish and his wife across the English Channel on the hunt for a suspected killer.
According to the widow of Patrick Dawlish's late friend, it all happened so fast. Her daughter met a man at a party for antique dealers and, within a month, they eloped in France. Worrying about her daughter's judgment has taken a backseat to worrying about her life. Not long ago, an almost identical situation had fatal consequences. An assistant in an antique shop left for France without warning saying she was going to get married. But then she disappeared and was found dead weeks later. How dangerous can a favor for a friend be? Dawlish and his wife Felicity are about to find out. Tracking the young couple across France turns into a race against time. Because someone is out to make sure that before the Dawlishes catch up to their prey, the newlyweds will be newly dead . . .Author Biography
