This is an uncorrected proof copy, which, I must say, adds to the reading experience.

Sophia Siméonidis, a Greek opera singer, wakes up one morning to discover that a tree has appeared overnight in the garden of her Paris house. Intrigued and unnerved, she turns to her neighbours: Vandoosler, an ex-cop fired from the police for having helped a murderer to escape, and three impecunious historians, Mathias, Marc and Lucien - the three evangelists. They agree - both because they need the money and out of sheer curiosity - to dig around the tree and see if something has been buried there. They find nothing but soil.


A few weeks later, Sophia disappears and nobody worries too much until her body is found burned to ashes in a car. Who killed the opera singer? Her husband, her ex-lover, her best friend? Or could it be her lovely niece recently moved to the capital? They all seem to have a motive.


Vandoosler and the three evangelists set out to find the truth.

Happy birthday, Cassie. I hope you enjoy this book, including its faults. Some are hilarious! Cult, maybe not, but I enjoyed it for its differences, so I hope you do too.

Thank you so much cross-patch, I do love euro crime, although French methods do take some getting used to, as I discovered while watching The Spiral!

Thanks for the experience Cross-patch, it was fun! Most of the translation was what you would expect in an uncorrected proof copy but there were sections straight out of Google translator! I do enjoy Euro crime, each country certainly has its own style and the French are no exception. Enjoyed the story too.
