One More River

From an Edgar award–winning author, a crime novel about an English ex-pat on the run from danger is "a wondrous, strange trip through a very fine mind" (The New York Times).

From the critically acclaimed author of the Van der Valk and the Henri Castang mystery series comes a stand-alone crime novel about a man startled out of his placid life in the South of France by a violent attempt on his life.

An aging British crime writer living out his golden years in the south of France, John Charles is reaping the benefits of his successful career. But the moment a single gunshot shocks him out of this quiet existence, his life is forever altered. Fleeing his attackers, Charles finds adventure and excitement as he travels through Europe, staying one step ahead as he tries to uncover the identity of his pursuers. His journey becomes one of self-discovery, until the moment he falls into the hands of his enemies. . . .
