Publisher's summary

The “reliably excellent” John Lescroart (Publishers Weekly), acclaimed author of the best-selling novels featuring attorney Dismas Hardy, here offers a rich and engrossing historical mystery that takes us to a small French town in the dark days of World War I and introduces us to Auguste Lupa. The rumor is that he is the son of the greatest detective of all time.

Critic reviews

“[A] master yarn spinner.” ( Booklist)
“A gifted writer with a distinctive voice. I read him with great pleasure.” (Richard North Patterson)
“Raymond Chandler once wrote that the test of a first-rate murder mystery is whether you would keep reading it if the last chapter - and the revelation of whodunit - were missing. In the matter of John Lescroart, I would keep reading any of his books, even without that last chapter.” ( Fort Worth Star-Telegram)

VERY DISAPPOINTING

I love Lescroart's stuff, his Dismas Hardy "legal mysteries", and he is perhaps the best of this genre. But, here he tries to write a Hemingway-esque piece and it doesn't work. I tried and tried to finish this one but I couldn't. Maybe if he tried to put Dismas in Spain? Ah, forget it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
