French Confection by Horowitz Anthony
"Tim," I asked. "What's the French for 'murder'?" Tim shrugged. "Why do you want to know?" "I don't know." I stepped onto the escalator and let it carry me down. "I've just got a feeling it's something we're going to need." When the hard-up Diamond brothers, Tim and Nick, win a weekend for two in Paris, it looks as if their luck is taking a turn for the better. But looks can be deceptive. No sooner have they arrived in the French capital than the brothers are up to their necks in danger. There's a nasty smell in the air and it's not the cheese. If Nick and Tim aren't careful, their dream holiday could end up being a nightmare from which they'll never wake up...
