Justice has a new destination.

When Inspector Henri Toussaint retreats to the Haute-Pyrénées to recover from his war wounds, he expects peace-not murder. A fatal struggle in the moonlight draws him into a tangle of smuggling, secrets, and betrayal stretching from France to Spain.

At the heart of it all stands Elize Belfort-the woman he once loved and believed dead-and Penny Tompkins, the British assassin whose missions never end quietly. Together, they must uncover who profits from the chaos before the next body falls.

But trust is a luxury none of them can afford.

From the author of The Innocent Assassin comes a taut, romantic espionage tale where the war is over, but the reckoning has just begun.
