Romance, adventure, mystery, and luxury all come together in this latest novel of beach-reading suspense from the New York Times bestselling author.

At a St. Tropez villa in the South of France, five international vacationers, strangers to one another-all of them misfits running from their daily lives-are brought together at the same small seaside Hotel of Dreams by a rental scam, an international art heist, passion, murder, and a haunting.

It had seemed like the perfect getaway for Private Investigator Mac Reilly and his girlfriend/partner, Sunny Alvarez, along with his three-legged, one-eyed rescue dog, Pirate, and her snippy three-pound fiend on four paws, the Chihuahua, Tesoro. But suddenly and rather unexpectedly, they find themselves having to sort out the misfits' lives-including two lonely children on the trail of a mystery-solve a crime, and solve a murder, all against the sunny and glamorous backdrop of St. Tropez.

The two children are hot on the path to finding the killer. Will they get there first?

Elizabeth Adler transports us to the azure waters of the Mediterranean with a delicious caper filled with her trademark twists, sumptuous descriptions, and unforgettable characters.
