Divorced in Scotland and widowed in France, he has an estranged Scottish daughter and a French daughter he has raised by himself. The book would also be completely impossible in a world in which criminals were not compelled to leave full confessions in the substance of their crimes.

The lead character, a supposed genius with credentials as a forensic scientist-- acts like an idiotic buffoon. Deep in the catacombs below the city, he unearths dark clues deliberately set - and as he draws closer to the killer, discovers that he is to be the next victim.Enzo is no Saint; he abandoned his wife and a daughter in Scotland to follow the love of his life to France. He was derailed by his love for a woman that had him leaving one family in Scotland to start a new one in France. The long, glass-topped boats of the bateau mouches below the Pont de l”alma opposite rose and fell gently on the wash.

The thought of his two daughters meeting and becoming best friends proves to be more difficult than he could have imagined.They want him off the case; the “powers that be” are embarrassed that Enzo Macleod has turned a convenient disappearance into a confirmed murder. Childeric was the son of King Merovee of the Franks, the first of the lineage, and supposedly a direct descendent of Mary Magdalene. After a few false starts, Enzo is plagued with self-doubts as he and his companions/family become the targets.
