Synopsis
The original queen of the page-turner Mary Stewart leads her readers on a thrilling journey through a dangerous and deadly Provence in this tale perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Barbara Pym.
'Mary Stewart is magic'New York Times
'One of the great British storytellers of the 20th century'Independent
'The terrible thirsty heat of the Provençal summer, the noise of the cicadas, the dust of the country buses . . .an excellent tale of mystery'The Times
It sounds idyllic: a leisurely drive through the sun-drenched landscape of Provence. But Charity's dream holiday turns into a nightmare when she becomes embroiled in a sinister plot to kidnap a young boy. She soon finds herself in a deadly pursuit and must uncover who to trust . . . and who to fall for.
Whenever I look back now on the strange and terrifying events of that holiday in Southern France, I remember the minutes I spent gazing at the golden arches of the Roman aqueduct over the Gardon... the last brief lull before the thunder.
'A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven.I'd rather read her than most other authors.' Harriet Evans
'She built the bridge between classic literature and modern popular fiction.She did it first and she did it best.'Herald

About the Author

Her first novel,Madam, Will You Talk?was published in 1955 and marked the beginning of a long and acclaimed writing career. In 1971 she was awarded the International PEN Association's Frederick Niven Prize forThe Crystal Cave, and in 1974 the Scottish Arts Council Award for one of her children's books,Ludo and the Star Horse. She was married to the Scottish geologist Frederick Stewart, and died in 2014.
Review
A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors. * Harriet Evans * She set the bench mark for pace, suspense and romance - with a great dollop of escapism as the icing * Elizabeth Buchan * The tension mounts steadily until it reaches breaking-point ... an excellent tale of mystery. * The Times *
