The Ivory Snuff Box

Frederic Arnold Kummer

Novels

Richard Duvall has just married Grace. He's still wearing his wedding ring when the Prefect of Police in Paris drags him into a web of international intrigue. A stolen ivory snuff box belonging to the French Ambassador has surfaced, and its contents could shift the balance of power in Europe. Duvall must chase the box through London while his bride is sent on her own parallel mission to Brussels. The newlyweds work against time and each other, separated by continents, unaware how deeply their fates are entwined with a conspiracy that reaches into the highest diplomatic circles. This is vintage detection fiction: clean, propulsive, with a satisfying puzzle at its heart and enough political intrigue to give the game stakes. For readers who want their mysteries served with a side of old-world elegance and married couple teamwork.
