The Bleiks family leaves their splendid modern house in the United States and moves to France, to the small town of Chalon-sur-Aure. They moved in unnoticed—they tried not to attract attention.
This isn’t a brutal “Godfather”; it’s something new, infused with French aroma…
A predator in a man whom people want to treat as a friend—even before they meet him. He is an undisputed leader who can make the weak strong and the strong weak with a single glance or a handshake.
An engrossing novel filled with refined humor is considered the best example of a paradoxical detective story.
