Dead Silence: A Swanson Herbinko Mystery in Paris (The Dead Series)

Boston society divorce lawyer Swanson Herbinko has never been out of Massachusetts, but when she meets Guy de Guy, a Frenchman with sandy blond hair and an adorable soul patch living in Boston’s Back Bay, she runs—not walks!—in her five inch Jimmy Choos to get her passport. Guy woos Swanson with food and she falls hard, but when she goes to France to help Dick untangle the murder of Michel Meriodoc the head of the French Farmer’s Association and chief proponent of gastronomie terroir she finds herself in the middle of an international food fight between Meriodoc’s organization and the sellers of GMO food. Quelle horror! Swanson and her dachshund Devil Dog dive into the thick bouillabaisse of French food, getting arrested in a Parisian demonstration, getting in a brawl in a French women’s prison and almost dying in the chateau’s maze which was built to imprison people. The only question that remains is whether Swanson will wind up just like Meriodoc... DEAD.
