Odor di Murderer, Scent of a Killer
Purchase Info
An Adventure from Inspector Canal's New York Agency
“The scent of a woman”—odor di femmina—that elusive je ne sais quoi that brings out the Don Juan in men, gets me all confused in this new mystery. At first, that is!
My life gets threatened, guns get shot, and I have to figure out whether it is the tentacular cosmetics giant JVMQ that is threatening to do me in or someone in the chocolate industry. I smell a rat, despite the sweet smells swirling about . . .
From Wall Street to Midtown and from the Colorado Rockies to Grasse, France—the undisputed perfume capital of the world—I get swept up into the investigation (I’ve got to save my own skin, after all!). And against my better judgment, I end up accompanying the lovely but troubled widow of a dead botanist on a romp through the multi-billion dollar world of aromas. Encountering the bitter complexities of marital projections and vexations, I soon discover that the planet’s sweetest scents and confections are strangely interconnected . . .
