N.Y.: Alfred A Knopf Inc, 1996. 1st edition, so stated. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. "Again venturing into the wryly humorous thriller territory of Hotel Pastis, Mayle has produced another caper heavily larded with local color and gastronomic adventures. And again, as in his novels and his nonfiction evocations of Provence, truffles play a crucial role. Here his protagonist is Bennett, a Brit expatriate on his uppers. Having lost his savings in an investment scam, he is intent on finding the means to reside in Saint-Martin in Provence. He advertises his services: 'Anything considered except marriage'--and is hired by Julian Poe, a stupendously wealthy fellow Brit, who needs help in evading the French income tax. Pretending to be Poe in the latter's Monaco apartment, Bennett becomes involved in the hijacking of a case containing the secret formula for the successful cultivation of the elusive black truffle. When the Italian Mafioso who stole…

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Knopf, 1997. First edition, so stated. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. "Photographer Andre Kelly is on assignment in the South of France when he decides to spend his free day in Cap Ferrat visiting some former clients, the Denoyers. As he arrives, he witnesses Claude, the Denoyers' hired man, loading a precious Cezanne into the back of a beat-up plumber's van. Deciding that something is amiss, Andre photographs the event and thus becomes involved in a wild escapade to track down the painting. When he explains the situation to Lucy, his agent and soon-to-be love interest, they decide that they need some expert help and call in Cyrus, a wealthy art dealer, who smells a scam. Add in a scoundrelly art dealer and his daffy lover, an art forger, and a former French Legionnaire, and the trail to the lost Cezanne becomes a comedy of errors. Along the way, there are vibrant descriptions of Paris, Provence, Cap Ferrat, and of course…

"The Chinks in the Curtain" features the return of that most reluctant spy Edmund Brown, first met in SOUR CREAM WITH EVERYTHING. Returning ignominiously from Russia to England, he is dispatched to Paris to discover why a source of information has dried up. He infiltrates the household of a Russian émigré through the salacious, if somewhat skeletal, embraces of the Princes niece. There he uncovers a plot to restore the old regime to Russia, hatched by the Prince and a Rasputin-like priest whose motto is -- Give God something to forgive you for. -- But the underlying sinister implications of the plot elude our hero until the eleventh hour. Joyce Porter irreverently juggles the familiar paraphernalia of midnight tiptoeing, hidden microphones and…

"In the midst of the fall of France, Bill Quinton is informed he may leave the country if he allows the Bank of France to conceal a fortune in bullion within his 1937 Bentley. The treasure is to finance French resistance abroad, and Quinton must evade not only the Germans but French officials who intend to collaborate with their conquerors. The result is an ingenious obstacle course of violent intrigue as Quinton wends his way across France to Lisbon. Then in a Portugal balanced precariously between the belligerents Quinton attains his final victory and suffers a devastating loss. A meticulously crafted novel that holds fact and might-have-been in close embrace, this is almost cinematic in its pacing." -- Library Journal . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. Book.

"Countess Alys of Tonnerre, victim of a brutal beating, is barely alive when her husband Raynald brings her to the Abbess Heloise at the convent of the Paraclete in medieval France. Young Catherine LeVendeur, who helps care for Alys, is disturbed by scars that attest to the woman's prior mistreatment. Upon the Countess's death, the Paraclete inherits a small piece of unimpressive land, which sets off a furor: Raynald claims the convent stole the property, and the prior of a nearby monastery makes a handsome offer for it. Catherine maintains her intense curiosity about Alys's unhappy end even through the arrival of her betrothed, Edgar of Wedderlie, with Peter Abelard; after Catherine and Edgar's wedding, the pair travel to Troyes and, at Heloise's request, search for information on the…
