Delphine Rougier: Fin Du Monde (Paperback)

<p>It's Saturday, 6th November 2010 in the popular Pyrenean tourist town of Orne-les Bains on a wet, wind-blown morning, the pregnant Lieutenant Delphine Rougier, now married to Lieutenant-Colonel Alonso Diaz and on maternity leave, is out shopping when she suddenly receives a shocking phone call from an anonymous caller. Whether male or female is impossible to tell.</p><p>This stops her in her tracks.</p><p>'Whore, bitch, slag!' that voice snarls, followed by a terrible threat that her baby will die, foreshadowing months of fear and anguish delivered by other so-far unknown predators.</p><p>But why? And above all, who?</p><p>What in her past could have triggered such vileness? And what will the consequences be for both her, Alonso and their beautiful new daughter Rose, named after a generous, elderly benefactor who'd later drowned herself in the River Sarthe?<br>As one crisis leads to another, who will live and who will die in those stunning surroundings where that huge, holy but treacherous Pic de Canigou reigns over all?</p> <p><i>'Sally Spedding has unquestionably got what it takes.' - Crime Time.</i></p>
