Product Description
From School Library Journal
Gr 5-8-This third book in the series finds P. C. and his partner, Mackenzie Riggs, accompanying Mac's father to Monaco where he will speak at the International Psychiatric Association Conference. Although the teens have quite a reputation for solving crimes at home, Dr. Riggs recommends that they see the sights and relax on the beach during this trip. Meantime, one of his colleagues is murdered in their hotel. The clues point to a notorious serial killer in France, nicknamed Cyrano. The two amateur detectives meet the inspector's teenaged daughter at the crime scene and the young people begin their own investigation. While the murder has been staged to look like the work of Cyrano, the trio is convinced that the clues and motives point to a different killer. Their personal safety becomes threatened in their quest to solve the thrilling mystery. The suspense and pace will keep readers turning pages.

A brilliant addition to the PC Hawke mystery series!

Format:Paperback
Even in my 30s, i really enjoyed this YA murder mystery. I listen to the audio version more than read it (i have more time to listen than read), and it is a very snappy story with a suspenseful plot. The teenage private eye PC Hawke and his companion Mac(kensie) are in Monoco and are on the trail of a murderer when someone in their hotel is killed. With the help of the chief inspector's beautiful redhead daughter Juliette (who although blind makes up for it with her other senses, primarily smell (trust me, it makes sense), and her brains) they track down this vicious killer. It has the right amount of scary scenes and suspense without being gory. The pace and dialogue is very good, and will keep an adult riveted as well (at least it did for me)
Such a shame Mr Zindel (the author) died before publishing the last few manuscripts from this series. Every single one of the PC Hawke mysteries is a winner in my opinion!
