Paradise Crime New novel 2026

A dark and splendid story set in a magnetic and sensual French Riviera.

Florence and Julian Livingstone, a wealthy American couple, gather a small circle of friends every summer in their sumptuous home on Cap d'Antibes.

But this idyllic world collapses the night their three-year-old son, Oscar, is abducted under mysterious circumstances.

As the case captivates the world and fear spreads, the police officer in charge of the investigation hits a wall of lies and secrets.

His path will cross that of young novelist Agatha Harding, who hopes to exploit the tragedy to write a bestseller…
