Murder In Paris due out in June
The heat of a Paris summer provides the backdrop for Nelson’s engaging
fourth Third-Culture Kid mystery (after 2012’s Murder in Geneva). Tech
writer Annie Young’s determination to take a freelance job documenting
an archeological dig run by her Italian lothario ex-lover, Luca
Martinelli, causes enough friction to end her engagement to
Argelès-sur-mer police chief Roger Perret. Luca is not only leading the
excavation in Paris’s Latin Quarter but is also sharing her borrowed
apartment. When attractive but not-well-liked team member Amelie
LaFollette is shot to death at the dig, police detective Marie-Claude Du
Pont investigates. Suspicion is cast on the amorous Luca as well as
other coworkers with access to the site and its potentially valuable
contents. Flashbacks to a 13th-century monk-in-the-making, Jacques
Fournier, enrich the contemporary storyline, which builds to a
satisfyingly untidy resolution. (June)
