Love's Last Mystery - Roger Crane - Bog

"There must have been a reason why they both walked into the surf, but only the man came out; but it was not evident in the picture of a happy couple or the half-finished bottle of wine-a very expensive Napoleon 1850 Chablis-left on the beach." This begins the mystery of the American couple apparently enjoying their second honeymoon on the Italian Riviera, until the wife goes missing under suspicious circumstances. Was it murder in the waves or did she run away? A nation-wide manhunt finds nothing, but Inspector Jean Girard is determined to get the truth out of the husband, a movie producer in the States. What looks at first like a simple mystery may turn out to be "Love's Last mystery."
