- Synopsis
- First a shepherds cottage bought by English outsiders is burned down. Then there's a fire at the showy hotel. Worse yet, the new French restaurant is torched and a charred, stabbed body is found inside. Could Welsh nationalists be making a point? Could a troubled little boy who shows up at all of the fires be acting out his anger that his father has left his family? Could the mysterious, glamorous, French owner of the Restaurant be an arsonist and murderer? Evan tries to investigate despite the haughty attitude of the city police and their arrogant English arson investigator. Evan looks for answers and dates Bronwen the school teacher when his workload permits. He also fends off the flirtatious advances of Betsy the barmaid, Madame Yvette, owner of the new French restaurant and Glynis the police computer expert. As the investigation continues, the locals are more disgruntled about the fancy but spare French dishes their wives are serving them from recipes they've learned at the French cooking school than they are concerned about the current crime wave. Following clues and his hunches, Evan travels through England and France with his colleague, Watkins, where they make stunning discoveries which prove Madame Yvette isn't who she says she is. As tension mounts, there's a final, frightful, fire on the mountain and young Terry is being perused at sunset by a ruthless killer. It will take more than one hero to stop the burning and killing in the normally peaceful Welsh town of Llanfair. .
