An elegant and arresting tale of patriotism, passion and murder, unfolding on the French Riviera, from the bestselling author of The Savage Garden. Le Rayol, France, July 1935: On the poor man`s end of the Riviera, where white-sand coves are strung out along the rocky coastline like pearls on a necklace, former British intelligence operative Tom Wyndham lives out his early retirement.

On the surface, their dinners and beach parties may seem a world away from a continent gearing up for war, but it is 1935, a time of suspicion and mutual mistrust.
