Book description
In this, his fifth escapade, Inspector David Bliss goes undercover
once again, and heads to St. Juan sur Mer on the Côtes d'Azur. His
mission is so secret that even Bliss doesn't know why he is there: he
only knows that he is tracking down a man the force wants in custody
for an unstated reason.
But the winds of the Mediterranean provide clues that take Bliss off
course and lead him to unravel two of the world's best known unsolved
mysteries: the identity of the Man in the Iron Mask and the location
of the stolen Nazi gold.
James Hawkins was a police commander in the U. K. for 20 years and
a Canadian private investigator for a further 8 years. He was also
director of education at the Canadian Institute for Environmental
Investigations. His debut novel, Missing: Presumed Dead (2001),
was shortlisted for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel.
