What happened to Jacques Gaillard? The brilliant teacher at the École Nationale d’Administration, who trained some of France’s best and brightest as future prime ministers and presidents, vanished ten years ago, presumably from Paris. This ten-year-old mystery inspires a bet—one that Enzo Macleod, a biologist teaching in Toulouse, France, instead of pursuing a brilliant career in forensics back home in Scotland, can ill afford to lose.

Even better than the others!
I write as a confirmed fan of Peter May’s novels and, most recently, have been working my way through his China series with great enjoyment. The Chinese background has been researched (or known first hand?) in great detail and the intricacies of the plot are gripping.
Many congratulations on an excellent tale, Mr. May!

Another great book by Peter May
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Peter May tells an excellent story with many interesting plot lines entwined in the overall story.
His characters are so real - I feel that I know them!
I also love that he lets the reader experience the location of the story - be it China in this book or the Isle of Lewis in another.
I also love the narrator and hope that Peter Forbes continues to narrate all of Peter May's books.
Can't wait to read my next Peter May book and I'll be very sad when I've read / listened to them all !!
