Description:Nice, 1854. The coastal city, governed by Turin, gleams under a pale winter sun. It promises respite for the weary and a leisurely playground for the wealthy who sojourn from all over Europe. But beneath its blue skies and its welcoming hotels, Nizza as it is known, conceals a darker heart.When detective Maurice Leroux arrives in Nice for the winter, hoping to seduce witty English actress, Madeleine Armstrong , he expects languid days strolling along the promenade by the sea and evenings at the opera. Immersed in a city with a strong Italian heritage, all he has to do is surpass his rival, the young, smooth-talking, Carlo Rocco. Instead, the glitter turns to nightmare when a guest at the lavish Hotel de Rome is brutally murdered.Among the hotel’s exotic residents are Countess Sofya Smyrnova , a Russian noble who once escaped the flames of Moscow in 1812; Baroness Alexandra Ivanova , a gossip-inclined Russian widow; Antoine Grasset , a French journalist with too many secrets; and Professor Milton Hayward , a linguist whose scholarship conceals a tragic obsession. When death claims them one by one, Maurice is drawn into a grim mystery that stretches from Nice’s stately establishments to the hidden warrens of its underworld, all the way to the candlelit salon of famed fortune teller, Madame Zora .To unmask the web of deception, Maurice must navigate Nizza’s labyrinth of depravity, its debauched parties, its seedy port, and human markets, and even seek counsel from Giuseppe Garibaldi , the city’s native hero. But as the truth unravels, he discovers that all the victims shared a bond forged long before their arrival… a bond written in fire and betrayal.A sumptuous, atmospheric mystery where vice, ghosts from the past, and vengeance converge bringing to life long-forgotten Nizza.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
