About this listen

IN THE FIRST BOOK OF PETER MAY'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ENZO FILES, FORENSICS EXPERT ENZO MACLEOD WAGERS THAT HE CAN SOLVE SIX PERPLEXING COLD CASES--AND UNEXPECTEDLY PLACES HIMSELF DIRECTLY IN HARM'S WAY.

"ACTION-PACKED." --ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"BRISK AND THRILLING." --THE BALTIMORE SUN
"THOROUGHLY ENGAGING." --LIBRARY JOURNAL

Half-Scottish, half-Italian Enzo MacLeod used to be one of the top forensics experts in Scotland, and now he lives in Toulouse, working as a university professor. Divorced in Scotland and widowed in France, he has an estranged Scottish daughter and a French daughter he has raised by himself.
As if his life isn't complicated enough, he soon finds himself unexpectedly on the hunt for solutions to some vexing cold cases thanks to an ill-advised wager about the power of forensic science.

Meanwhile, in Paris, a man desperately seeking sanctuary flees into a church. The next day, his sudden disappearance will make him famous throughout France.

Deep in the catacombs below the City of Light, MacLeod unearths disturbing clues deliberately left behind by a killer. But as the retired forensics expert draws closer to the truth, he discovers he may just wind up the next victim for his troubles.

An interesting book which goes in many different directions. After reading the black house Peter May series, I gave this one a go. Very good start to the Enzo Macleod series.

Interesting Listen

This is a well thought through story with layers of intrigue and complexity. The characters are very real and credible with good interaction. The narration is excellent and very listenable.
For me the story was too complicated to follow with lots of references to places in France with maybe too much focus on the locations which prevented me staying close to the story.

Intriguing story although a shade too complicated for me

I cannot wait for the next instalment. Love Peter Forbes narration. As good as the Lewis trilogy.

Excellent.

Enjoyed the story and performance except for garde des Skose and a tendency of the author to repeat himself frequently.

A whistle stop tour of France!

Peter May's portrayal of the Scottish male, full of integrity with a sense of justice, persistence, and curiosity, makes it a pleasure to spend time with this man as he romps chaotically around France doing the most unlikely things.

Another great discovery for me.

As a non French speaker I wish i didn’t miss too information. Paradoxically all the French created a good flavour of France. Congratulations to all involved.
