description: Isabelle screamed and fled toward the door!
  
  How many times had she studied that face, reverently framed and standing on her aunt's mantelpiece? She felt she knew everything about his life... and his death.
  
  And now he stood before her.
  
  Few of the villagers had agreed with the verdict at the inquest into his death. Now, fifteen years later, the circumstances surrounding the "accident" were steeped in mystery and fear. No one dared reopen the case.
  
  No one ... except Philippe. Spurred on by his love for Isabelle, he decided to get to the root of the mystery, despite the interference of a hostile town and a ruthless and dangerous opponent.
