At the elegant Hotel Belvedere, the champagne flows, the piano plays, but nothing is what it seems. And then, murder occurs. Private detective Robert now has has to read a room full of people who all have something to hide: a baron with a past, a heiress with a fortune, a young Frenchwoman with a secret, and guests who are not who they say they are. As the hours run down, Dubois must separate the lies from the clues before the killer slips away forever. Death Sails at Noon is the first Robert Dubois mystery: full of period atmosphere, espionage and a detective you will want to follow from case to case.
