In Paris, American film student Adele Longet is murdered. Aristotle Witzer, a Defense Analyst new to America's Paris embassy, gets a late night call to get a police report. Witzer is drawn into hutning for her killer, encountering film fanatics, Catacombs lovers and scum from France's Nazi past. In Paris Catacombs, underground rave parties blaze until dawn with ecstasy, sex and cinema as Witzer scrambles through this subterranean web - the haunt of French kings, the sanctuary for Resistance Fighters and the domain of partying 'Cataphiles'. Who murdered Adele? Unexposed French collaborators? Drug dealers? Criminal kingpins? He can trust no one. On a hot summer night, when a famed music festival shuts down the City of Light, he searches for a drug lab with answers to Adele's murder - and the clue to his own daughter's kidnaping - before he loses her to "A Cold Death".

From the Author Michael Mandaville: "Paris is among the greatest and probably is greatest city in the world. The City of Light. To me, the magic of Paris is found on every street corner and turn. The city itself is a treasured vault of history, architecture, art, language and learning. I visited the Lutece - an ancient Roman amphitheatre - and the Pompidou Centre in the same day. Having gone to Paris numerous times, I was excited to actually visit their libraries. Geek that I am. I went to the Bibliotheque Mazarine and the Bibliotheque Richelieu. In their old stately buildings, they were magnificent. The old book collection at Mazarine was enthralling. And there's a cool secret entrance hidden on the book shelves for the library workers - which is a door looking like book shelves. I also went to a great World War II museum there in Paris about the Resistance Fighter hero, Jean Moulin. Enthralling if you are a World War II history junkie. There is no place like Paris with its energy and intrigue, history and great thought. Paris is a creative explorer's mindset."
