Retired diplomat Sam Hough finds himself on a transatlantic flight to Europe when he makes a seemingly innocent promise to find the five-year-old son of a dying friend. A son that Curt had only recently learned about.

In the seamy neighborhoods of Paris, Sam quickly learns those who agree to help him soon disappear. Those who stay refuse to help him, and still others want to kill him rather than help him find the boy. Was Curt completely honest with him or did he purposely leave vital details out? But if so, why? His search through the narrow streets of Paris leads him to rekindle a long-lost romance and into a maze of suspicion, betrayal, and growing danger.

In its shadows, the City of Light holds deadly secrets. Sam must get to the bottom of what’s really at the heart of Curt’s mysterious request before his promise turns into an epitaph.
