No Part in Your Death

From an Edgar award winner, French Inspector Castang investigates cases close to his personal life in a mystery rich with "penetrating character sketches" (Kirkus Reviews).

It seems there's no escape from crime for Police Commissaire Henri Castang. While in Munich with his wife, he becomes embroiled in a child custody case that suddenly turns sinister. Once back at home, Castang is faced with the mysterious disappearance of a friend's wife, along with what could be a romantic double suicide if it didn't look suspiciously like murder. It's all in a day's work for Inspector Castang in these three interconnected mysteries—crimes which challenge even the enigmatic, brilliant mind of France's renowned detective. . . .
