Howard's Way meets Emmerdale - a 'black comedy' thriller set in France: 'A strange shape on the wall caught her eye. Pamela crept towards it, fighting a growing sense of dread. When she saw what it was, she let out a blood-curdling scream.' When Pamela and William Sinclair moved to France, their expectations were high. What could be more idyllic than living in a Renaissance château, feasting on local produce and elegant French wines? They didn't expect to be stalked by a serial killer, who prowled the countryside on the full moon. Nor did they anticipate a power struggle with Shirley Johnson-Smith, the self-styled 'Queen of the Dordogne'. Their challenges, ordeals and triumphs unfold in this comédie noire, set in a picturesque village in South-West France. Book cover painted by M.T. Blanchon www.mtblanchon.com
