Honeybone, Tome 4 : Fin de Siecle

Résumé

Dean Honeybone thinks he’s done with his career as a US Marshal, except that even his best-laid plans go astray.

Moving to Paris with his lover, Jean-Luc, who has accepted a job in a Michelin-starred restaurant as its new chef, Honeybone thinks he’s headed for a quiet life. He enrolls their adopted daughter, Kaia, into a prestigious elementary school and ponders his next move when Jean-Luc’s former lover, Vincent, is accused of art theft.

It’s a major case spanning three continents and a venerated California museum, whose curator now stands trial on art theft charges in Paris. Jean-Luc asks Honeybone to discover who might have set up Vincent. Not that Honeybone wants to do this since Vincent is clearly still in love with Jean-Luc. But Honeybone also realizes there’s a lot at stake.

In French, Fin de Siècle means the end of something momentous. In the art world, it means something else. Will Honeybone and Jean-Luc find peace and happiness in the city of love, or will Honeybone’s nightmares of his longtime nemesis, Richard Stance, prove to be more than just bad dreams?
