Synopsis
Chief Inspector Daniel Jacquot knows the streets of Marseilles like the back of his hand. He ought to - he was born there. And Marseilles knows him, as the hero who once scored the winning try against England at Twickenham. But now he is a cop, passionate, incorruptible and often inspired.
When the niece of Marseilles' Chief Examining Magistrate vanishes into thin air, and another girl is found dead, it is to Jacquot that the authorities turn. Working undercover for the first time in his career, he finds himself in the terrible underworld of his beloved city - locked in a deadly battle of wits with a woman whose long and
unforgiving memory is matched only by her taste for pain.

"A sexually-charged atmosphere that is as chilling as it is engaging" - Sydney Morning Herald

"The Marseilles scene... seems to be written by a native. O'Brien's ability to deliver a sense of place makes him worth watching" - Washington Post
