Winter in the Dordogne. Mara Dunn and Julian Wood, living in an already uneasy relationship, are confronted by a series of shattering events. Friend and neighbour Amélie Gaillard plunges mysteriously to her death. Her ailing husband is terrorized by a murderous apparition. The son of Julian's favourite purveyors of Turkish delicacies dies of an overdose. An undercover narc is murdered. A serial burglar is at work. And unscrupulous orchid hunters connive in the background. As the sleuthing pair clash over how to unravel this maze of mysteries, they find to their peril that more than their relationship is at stake.
