A promise made to a dying man leads forensics ace Enzo
Macleod, a Scot who's been teaching in France for many
years, to the study which the man's heir has preserved for
nearly twenty years. The dead man left several clues there
designed to reveal the killer's identity to the man's son,
but ironically the son died soon after the father. So begins
the fourth of seven cold cases written up in a bestselling
book by Parisian journalist Roger Raffin that Enzo rashly
boasted he could solve (he's been successful with the first
three). It takes Enzo to a tiny island off the coast of
Brittany in France, where he must confront the hostility of
locals who have no desire to see the infamous murder back in
the headlines. An attractive widow, a man charged but
acquitted of the murder—but still the viable suspect, a
crime scene frozen in time, a dangerous hell hole by the
cliffs, and a collection of impenetrable messages, make this
one of Enzo's most difficult cases.
