Blurb (from back cover): "A long-ago promise made to a dying man leads forensics ace Enzo Macleaod, a Scot who's been teaching in France for many years, to the study which the man's heir has preserved for nearly twenty years-untouched since the man's unsolved murder. The dead man left several clues in the study designed to reveal his killer's identity to his son, bur ironically the son died soon after the father and never set eyes on the father's legacy.
"So begins the fourth of seven cold cases written up in a bestselling book by Parisian journalist Roger Raffin that Enzo rashly boasted he could solve (he's been successful with the first three).
"This case takes Enzo to a tiny island off the coast of Brittany in France, where he must confront the hostility of locals who have no desire to see the infamous murder back in the headlines. An attractive widow, a man charged but acquitted of the murder (but still a viable suspect), a crime scene frozen in time, a dangerous hell hole by the cliffs, and a collection of impenetrable messages, make this one of Enzo's most difficult cases."
Opinion: Better than the previous Enzo files. There was enough action and plot twists to keep me entertained. For a more complete review, please check out MyShelf in the upcoming months.
