The Prisoner in the Opal

Description

A pretty American implores wine enthusiast Ricardo to alter his plans for an upcoming visit to vineyards in France to protect her friend, who she fears is threatened by ominous occult forces. He tries to evade responsibility, only to find that his plans have been switched for him. Thrust unanticipated among unfamiliar guests at the chateau, including, unexpectedly, the pretty American, he witnesses odd events and senses sinister intrigue. The uneasy gathering erupts into chaos when two young women vanish.

Famous Parisian detective Inspector Hanaud is in the area investigating a series of young women gone missing, and now he’s faced with another disappearance and a murder. Confusing clues are gathered from detective work, coincidences, and chance conversations, while complex characters who hide secrets ranging from amusing to insidious to satanic rotate into the picture. Hanaud desperately tries to prevent another murder of a witness as the group races to find her.
