About this book
A visitor from Washington interrupts Richard and Grace Duvall as they settle into married life on a Maryland farm. Richard has stepped back from detective work, exchanging difficult cases for crops, collies and garden plans. The arrival of the impatient Hodgman puts that comfortable routine under pressure. Frederic Arnold Kummer gives the opening room to establish what the couple value before bringing professional urgency to their door.
The investigation reaches Paris, where Grace questions a banker about his chauffeur and overhears a demand for money in exchange for his son. Her recognition of the visitor connects the conversation to earlier dangers she has faced herself. Domestic affection and practical observation sit alongside surveillance, threats and hurried decisions.
