The Case of the Black Pearl by Lin Anderson
A Patrick de Courvoisier Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Severn House
What we know about the character: Enigmatic Englishman Patrick de Courvoisier is known as "Le Limier" or "The Fixer". People come to him with their problems — and he fixes them. For more information about his first case, see a synopsis of the book, below.
Patrick de Courvoisier is content to leave his controversial past behind him and enjoy a more relaxed, hedonistic lifestyle on a converted houseboat in the glamorous French resort of Cannes. However, when Camille Ager asks Patrick to find her sister, Angele Valette, star of the new movie The Black Pearl, Patrick's laidback lifestyle is dealt a terminal blow.
Last seen at the film's lavish launch party on board the luxurious black yacht owned by Russian oligarch Vasily Chapayev, the funds behind the movie and owner of the famous black pearl, Angele seems to have vanished into thin air — and so has the pearl.
As Patrick questions all those involved with the movie, he discovers that this is a case where nothing is as it seems. And when a dead body turns up on his boat, the investigation takes a deeply disturbing new twist.
