It's summertime on the Riviera, where the Jazz Age is reinventing the holiday delights of warm days on golden sand and cool nights on dance floors. Just up the coast lies a more traditional pleasure ground: Monte Carlo, where fortunes are won, lost, and stolen. So when Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes happen across the Cote d'Azur, they find themselves pulled between the young and the old, hot sun and cool jazz, new friendships and old loyalties, childlike pleasures and very grownup sins...
For old and new fans of Sherlock Holmes.
