Overview
He clutched at his chest and slumped into his bowl of escargots...he was dead before his face hit the garlic butter In the south of France where hatred simmers in the heat, a man seemingly admired, and certainly feared, drops dead at a dinner party. All the guests fall under suspicion, including Welsh Canadian professor Cait Morgan. A criminologist who specializes in profiling victims, Cait sets out to solve the murder - and clear her name. Add to this the disappearance of an ancient Celtic gold collar said to be cursed and there you have the ingredients for a Niçoise salad of death, secrets, and lies. Will Cait find the killer before she too falls victim to a murderer driven by a surprising and disturbing motive? The Corpse with the Silver Tongue is the first in the award winning Cait Morgan Mysteries series, a classic whodunit series featuring the eccentric Professor Cait Morgan. This SECOND EDITION has been completely updated by the author.
