Mystery
The young woman pulled an envelope from her purse, her hand shaking, and handed it to Agnes. โI found this under my doormat this morning.โ The envelope was scuffed with dirt. Agnes withdrew a pristine sheet of paper, careful to touch only one edge. Two sentences were written in a distinctive manโs script. Be careful. We are being watched. Swiss-American police officer Agnes Lรผthi is on leave from her job in Lausanne, Switzerland, recovering from a nasty stab wound she sustained in her last case, when a former colleague invites her to the worldโs premier watch and jewelry trade show at the grand Messe Basel Exhibition Hall. Little does Agnes know that another friend of hers, Julien Vallotton, is at the same showโand heโs looking for her. Vallotton was friends with Guy Chavanon, a master watchmaker, who died a week ago, in an accident. At least thatโs what the authorities are calling it. But shortly before his death, Chavanon had boasted that heโd discovered a new technique that would revolutionize the watchmaking industry, and his daughter believes he may have been killed for it. Reluctantly, Agnes agrees to investigate Chavanonโs death. But the world of Swiss watchmaking, one of the countryโs oldest arts, is guarded and secretive, and time is ticking fast for Agnes to find the killerโbefore he strikes again.
