She’d made her way into the suit of her intended mark at the Semiramis Hotel, but there was someone already there. Thieves who grab her.

Calladine agrees to help her immediately. This lovely woman can’t be a murderer . . . can she? Enter Inspector Hanaud, one of France’s finest detective. If anyone can get to the bottom of this case he can.
