Murder on Cote Bleue France Expanded and Revised

Grace thought she was arriving at the Côte Bleue for a simple invitation, a chance to savor the azure waters and rolling cliffs of southern France. But the moment she sets foot on the sunlit terraces, she is drawn into a dangerous puzzle that has haunted the region for decades. A missing man, coded messages hidden in bottles, and the elusive Black Merchant—whose influence stretches from secret wine auctions to a legacy of betrayal—await her investigation. As Grace navigates the labyrinthine calanques, dark cellars, and hidden tunnels beneath the cliffs, she uncovers clues that reveal a network of deceit, manipulation, and long-buried secrets. Every revelation comes with risk, and every ally may hide their own motives. With time running out and danger closing in, Grace must rely on her intelligence, courage, and instincts to expose the truth. Suspenseful, atmospheric, and vividly set against the sparkling Mediterranean coast, Murder on the Côte Bleue is a gripping tale of mystery, betrayal, and the enduring allure of secrets the sea refuses to surrender.
