A classic MYSTERY, set in Paris,
with enough INTRIGUE to
satisfy every reader:
"[A] fascinating adventure with enough intrigue to satisfy every reader. . . . A fantastic debut!" says RT Book Reviews.
"First in what is sure to become a favorite series, this fast moving and smoothly paced thriller combines excellently drawn characters, an interesting setting and an intelligently constructed storyline," says Monsters and Critics.
Oprah.com calls it "a tale of a city [Paris] that's gritty, utterly real and filled with surprises both horrifying and tender. Much like a baguette, this fabulous story is crusty on the outside, sweet on the inside, and once you've had a bit, you can't wait for more."

London Eye (Toxic City Book One)
"The first title in what promises to be a gripping series depicting a near-future England in the throes of a postapocalyptic disaster," says School Library Journal.
