CITY OF
DARKNESS AND LIGHT, Rhys Bowen's Lucky Thirteenth Molly
Murphy Mystery sees Molly fleeing for her life to Paris
where she has to outwit a killer in the bohemian art word of
Picasso and Degas.
Molly and Daniel Sullivan are settling happily into the new
routines of parenthood, but their domestic bliss is
shattered the night a gang retaliates against Daniel for
making a big arrest. Daniel wants his family safely out of
New York City as soon as possible. In shock and grieving,
but knowing she needs to protect their infant son Liam,
Molly agrees to take him on the long journey to Paris to
stay with her friends Sid and Gus, who are studying art in
the City of Light.
But upon arriving in Paris, nothing goes as planned. Sid
and Gus seem to have vanished into thin air, and Molly's
search to figure out what happened to them will lead her
through all levels of Parisian society, from extravagant
salons to the dingy cafes where starving artists linger over
coffee and loud philosophical debates. And when in the
course of her search she stumbles across a dead body, Molly,
on her own in a foreign country, starts to wonder if she and
Liam might be in even more danger in Paris than they had
been at home.
As Impressionism gives way to Fauvism and Cubism, and the
Dreyfus affair rocks France, Molly races through Paris to
outsmart a killer in City of Darkness and Light, Rhys
Bowen's most spectacular Molly Murphy novel yet.
