Mord an der Riviera

The legendary British Inspector Meredith swaps the foggy streets of London for the brilliantly blue Côte d'Azur. There, a notorious counterfeiter, whom he had previously locked away years ago, is up to his old tricks. But that's not all: a murder under the palms also needs to be solved - precisely in the mysterious Villa Paloma, owned by a fabulously wealthy British widow.

For Inspector Meredith, this criminal case takes him from the London fog to the sparkling Côte d'Azur. Recently, the French coast has been flooded with counterfeit thousand-franc notes, and the local police suspect an English mastermind as the head of the counterfeiting ring. Indeed, the banknotes appear to come from Chalky Cobbett, an English forger of notorious talent. However, it's not just the counterfeit money that troubles Meredith; a wealthy English widow, who hosts a series of mysterious houseguests in her villa in picturesque Menton, also piques his interest. And rightly so, as it turns out, because shortly after the arrival of another guest from the British Isles, a murder occurs.
