Waiting in Paris

De: Peggy Kopman-Owens

Narrado por: Sir Hugh Elliot

Among the rich of Paris, there are opportunities for thieves and forgers such as Vadim Bergeron, a predator who delights in destroying the reputations of true artists and the women who love them.

However, one private detective has spent years recruiting waiters and chefs to build a reliable although eclectic network of informants. Within days of an art theft, he can count on clues arriving during dinner: a note slipped under his dessert plate, an address scribbled on a receipt, a suggestion of where an object might be fenced, or the name of a potential buyer whispered in his ear along with..."Will there be anything else, Monsieur?"

Catching art thieves has become this Paris sleuth's raison d'etre, and Simon Pennington is determined Olivette Ferrier will become Vadim Bergeron's last victim.
