Already making a name for himself, Enzo Macleod has untangled two infamous murders from Roger Raffin's book (in Extraordinary People and The Critic), but it seems the third, concerning the death of a male prostitute in Paris 16 years ago, may have to go unsolved. Enzo has just been given a diagnosis of terminal cancer; he has only months to live. But after his daughter is nearly killed in an explosion, he himself is mugged, and someone frames him for murder, Enzo is determined to solve the case and expose a killer before he can attack again.
