A young apprentice is framed for the murder of her mentor, a
wealthy woman who had a serious penchant for spiritualism,
theatrics and staged seances. When the woman is suddenly killed all
signs point to her longstanding partner. Madame Dauvray was
captivated by the supernatural world. She and her companion, Celia
Harland, would often engage the public as spiritual mediums. Yet,
their presentations were a farce fueled by trickery and
performance. One day, Madame Dauvray is found strangled to death at
the illustrious Villa Rose. Her maid is indisposed, and her jewels
are stolen. Due to proximity and the nature of their business,
Celia is made the prime suspect. In an effort to clear her name,
the young Englishman, Harry Wethermill asks Inspector Hanaud to
crack the case. At the Villa Rose is a thrilling detective story
full of misdirects and shocking twists. The beloved character,
Inspector Hanaud, makes a memorable debut in the first of six
novels. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of At the Villa Rose is both modern and
readable.
