William Warner Mystery #3

by Martin Sylvester

From the author of A DANGEROUS AGE and A LETHAL VINTAGE. Long hot summer days in the Bordeaux countryside - paradise. But wine merchant and bon viveur William Warner is becoming restless. So when the opportunity for some action presents itself, in the form of a missing young English girl, Warner needs little persuasion to get involved. Soon he is involved with 'retired' British gangsters with murderous inclinations, ransom demands and crossbows, all of which combine to enliven his holiday.
