Now, on the eve of the worst blizzard Lausanne has seen in centuries, Agnes has been called to investigate her very first homicide case. On the lawn of the grand Château Vallotton, at the edge of Lac Léman, a young woman has been found stabbed to death. The woman, an appraiser for a London auction house, had been taking inventory at the château, a medieval fortress dripping in priceless works of art and historical treasures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgnes finds it difficult to draw answers out of anyone—the tight-lipped Swiss family living in the château, the servants who have been loyal to the family for generations, the aging WWII survivor who lives in the neighboring mansion, even the American history student studying at the Vallotton château's library. As the storm rages on, roads become impassible, the power goes out around Lausanne, and Agnes finds herself trapped in the candlelit halls of the château with all the players ofthe mystery, out of her depth in her first murder case and still struggling to stay afloat after the death of her husband.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tracee de Hahn","offers":[{"title":"Hardback With dust jacket","offer_id":44872521810080,"sku":"9781250109996","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_a4b1f5b4-c89b-4a5d-9334-63a48e5db105.jpg?v=1685996359","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9781250109996","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
