About this ebook
From Le Cordon Bleu to the Louvre, Paris in the 1950s is perfect for food lovers and art lovers alike, including expat Tabitha Knight and her friend, aspiring chef Julia Child. Unfortunately, the City of Light also has a dark side . . .
Seeking distraction from her upcoming exam at Le Cordon Bleu, Julia delightedly accepts Tabitha’s invitation to meet her former fiancé Henry and his sister, who are visiting from the U.S. with plans to tour the Louvre. They’ve also befriended a young painter on their voyage who, despite Tabitha’s wariness of the strange attachment, seems truly excited to see the art. Once there, however, he expresses confusion over a painting hanging which he claims to have seen in a collector’s home back in America.
The next day, Tabitha receives an early morning visit from Inspecteur Merveille. The young painter has been found dead in his hotel room, and Henry is the prime suspect. Henry and his sister are distraught: he’s clearly been framed...but by whom? And could it concern the painting at the Louvre?
Tabitha and Julia are determined to clear Henry’s name—much to the frustration of the good inspector. As the women canvas the clues, they begin to suspect a connection to Parisians hiding art from the Nazis and the dark business of forgery. With evidence against Henry mounting, Tabitha and her friends risk their very lives to uncover the real killer, before he perfects the art of murder...
