From the author of The Red Notebook, described as Parisian perfection by Queen Camilla, comes a thrilling murder mystery set in the world of publishingA stylish whodunnit blended with an affectionate sendup of the world of books The Sunday MirrorBlends mystery with comedy to great effect The Daily MailWhen the manuscript of a debut crime novel arrives at a Parisian publishing house, everyone in the readers room is convinced its something special. And, when its eventually published, the committee for Frances highest literary honour, the Prix Goncourt, agrees.But when the shortlist is announced, theres a problem for glamorous editor Violaine Lepage: she has no idea of the authors identity. As the police begin to investigate a series of murders strangely reminiscent of those recounted in the book, Violaine is not the only one looking for answers. And, suffering memory blanks following an aeroplane accident, shes beginning to wonder what role she might play in the story as well as how to find the mystery author before the prize is announced.In the end it will take the combined investigative powers of a detective, a junior editor, and Violaines therapist to uncover the truth. They will learn not just about the author of the book, but about the storys origins, and the novels strange power to exact justice for violence done to a young girl decades ago. But when everything comes to light, one question will remain: can Violaine and the other readers of the mystery manuscript put the past to rest, and find happiness in the present?
