Here is Peter Mayle at his effervescent best--his master sleuth,
Sam Levitt, eating, drinking, and romancing his way through the
South of France even as he investigates a case of deadly intrigue
among the Riviera's jet set.
Billionaire Francis Reboul is taking in the view at his coastal
estate, awaiting the arrival of vacationing friends Sam Levitt and
Elena Morales, when he spies a massive yacht whose passengers seem
a little too interested in his property. The yacht belongs to
rapacious Russian tycoon Oleg Vronsky, who, for his own purposes,
will stop at nothing to obtain Reboul's villa. When Reboul refuses
to sell, Vronsky's methods quickly turn unsavory. Now it's up to
Sam--he's saved Reboul's neck before--to negotiate with an
underworld of mercenaries and hit men, not to mention the Corsican
mafia, to prevent his friend from becoming a victim of Vronsky's
"Russian diplomacy."
The dire situation doesn't stop Sam and Elena from attending
glamorous fetes where the wines and starlets alike sparkle, and
enjoying sumptuous meals--from multicourse revelations to
understated delights like the first asparagus of the season, on
which one must make a wish. But as Sam's sleuthing draws him closer
to the truth of Vronsky's schemes, he realizes Reboul might not be
the only one unable to enjoy the good life for long.
Brimming with entertaining twists, sparkling scenery, and
mouthwatering gustatory interludes as only Peter Mayle can write
them, "The Corsican Caper" is a one-way ticket to pleasure,
Provencal style.
"From the Hardcover edition."
