In Sam Levitt's carefree life there is always room for adventure - as well as a glass of rosé in the company of old friends on the terrace under the velvety southern sky. And while Elena Morales, Sam's girlfriend, having left a boring career as an insurance agent in Los Angeles, is setting up a family nest - a wonderful house near Marseille on the Mediterranean coast, Sam is immersed in the investigation of the very complicated circumstances behind a series of unsolved diamond thefts on the Cote d'Azur worth several million euros. The circle of suspects is narrowing, and the role of the detective ceases to be fun... The sparkle of diamonds, the magical play of champagne and the exciting aromas of French cuisine - all this in the new book by Peter Mayle, light, cheerful and witty. For the first time in Russian!
