Some favours cannot be refused. Tonio agrees to write a love letter for Dario, a low rent Paris gigolo. Then Dario turns up with a single bullet to the head, and Tonio finds that he's inherited a vineyard near Naples that makes undrinkable wine. It's an elaborate scam, and Tonio senses the smell of easy money, but the Mafia and the Vatican smell it too. Unfortunately, Mafiosi aren't choir boys, and neither are monsignors. A darkly comic tale - winner of three French crime fiction awards. The best French crime novel of the year' - Calibre 38'
