The Corsican Caper: A novel (Sam Levitt Capers Book 3)

Here is Peter Mayle at his effervescent bestâ€”his master sleuth, Sam Levitt, eating, drinking, and romancing his way through the South of France even as he investigates a case of deadly intrigue among the Rivieraâ€™s jet set.

Billionaire Francis Reboul is taking in the view at his coastal estate, awaiting the arrival of vacationing friends Sam Levitt and Elena Morales, when he spies a massive yacht whose passengers seem a little too interested in his property. The yacht belongs to rapacious Russian tycoon Oleg Vronsky, who, for his own purposes, will stop at nothing to obtain Reboulâ€™s villa. When Reboul refuses to sell, Vronskyâ€™s methods quickly turn unsavory. Now itâ€™s up to Samâ€”heâ€™s saved Reboulâ€™s neck beforeâ€”to negotiate with an underworld of mercenaries and hit men, not to mention the Corsican mafia, to prevent his friend from becoming a victim of Vronskyâ€™s â€œRussian diplomacy.â€

The dire situation doesnâ€™t stop Sam and Elena from attending glamorous fÃªtes where the wines and starlets alike sparkle, and enjoying sumptuous mealsâ€”from multicourse revelations to understated delights like the first asparagus of the season, on which one must make a wish. But as Samâ€™s sleuthing draws him closer to the truth of Vronskyâ€™s schemes, he realizes Reboul might not be the only one unable to enjoy the good life for long.

Brimming with entertaining twists, sparkling scenery, and mouthwatering gustatory interludes as only Peter Mayle can write them,Â The Corsican CaperÂ is a one-way ticket to pleasure, ProvenÃ§al style.
