Treasure of Saint-Lazare: A Novel of Paris (The Eddie Grant Series Book 1)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009MD6EM4

Eddie Grant’s friends in Paris think of him as the golden boy — a rich war hero, half American, half French, whose genius for business multiplied the fortune his American father left behind. Most have forgotten the pain and depression he suffered after the brutal murder of his wife and son, and then his revered father. But Eddie will never forget, not completely, and he certainly won’t forgive.

It’s ten years later and he’s almost recovered, almost happy, but the old wounds open once again when a former lover arrives to tell him that her father is dead at the hands of the same evil conspiracy. The clues all lead back to 1945, when an immensely valuable painting stolen by the Nazis disappeared without a trace. Uncountable fortune hunters have sought it since, without success.

The money means nothing to Eddie, but the lure of revenge is far more than he can resist. He plunges headlong into the chase, which leads him through the salons of Paris and the rural backwaters around Sarasota, Florida, before ending in the subterranean catacombs behind the old Paris railroad station, St. Lazare.

Along the way Eddie cements his relationship with the beautiful Aurélie, the tall, elegant, and very smart Sorbonne professor who becomes his trusted partner and the love of his life.
