Overview
Frances and her husband, George, have two points of interest in Paris. One is an impromptu holiday to visit the Paris Exposition. The other is personal. Georgeās Aunt Julia has requested her nephewās help in looking into the suspicious death of renowned artist Paul Ducasse. Though Julia is not entirely forthcoming about her reasons, she is clearly a woman mourning a lost love.
At the exposition, swarming with tourists, tragedy casts a pall on the festivities. A footbridge collapses. Julia is among the casualties. However, she was not just another fateful victim. Julia was stabbed to death amid the chaos. With an official investigation at a standstill, George and Frances realize that to solve the case they must dig into Juliaās lifeāas well as Paulāsāand question everything and everyone in Juliaās coterie of artists and secrets.
They have no shortage of suspects. There is Paulās inscrutable widow, Gabrielle. Paulās art dealer and manager, Lucien. Juliaās friend Martine, a sculptress with a jealous streak. And art jurist, Monsieur Beaufoy. The investigation takes a turn when itās revealed that George has inherited control of Juliaās estateāand another of her secrets. While George investigates, Frances safeguards their new legacy, and is drawn further into danger by a killer determined to keep the past buried.
