Murder In The Rue Dumas: A Verlaque And Bonnet Provencal Mystery (Verlaque And Bonnet Provencal Mysteries) - Plot & Excerpts
He had been dreaming of his mother and of Monique, and the telephone rang in his dream. “It’s Monique,” his mother told her thirteen-year-old son. “She needs you.” And so the young Antoine quickly got out of bed, throwing on his jeans, a polo shirt, and a pair of moccasins.
