Morgan Kenworthy-a Berkeley student studying abroad and a guest of the de Carduzacs, family friends who have a chateau in St. Emilion in France-uncovers a coup against the government of France. Soon after she arrives, a bombing at the Brassault Aviation plant kills several ministers. The investigation, led by General Tolbert, the head of French in­telligence and friend of Joseph de Carduzac, points to jihad­ists. However, clues Morgan unearths about Joseph's past suggest that the two blew up the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in 1985 and committed other nefarious acts while serving President Mitterand. After another explosion, killing most of the cabinet, Tolbert announces that he is in charge. As General Tolbert suspects she knows about the plots, Morgan's life and the life of her lover, Alex, Joseph's stepson, are in danger. Morgan tries to leave Europe for the US but is thwarted, and Alex is captured by the general's thugs. Now the two must rely on their wits, and their friends, for survival until they can convince the French Government who the real criminals are...

I loved this novel for its descriptive passages of food, wine and the French countryside. Geza does a wonderful job with dialogue in leading the reader through turbulent events of the story! ~Minette Lauren
