A medieval town of ancient stones nestled in the South of France, holding onto its secrets for thousands of years.
Oliver knows the secrets of these stones only too well. He has a few secrets of his own. Oliver rents apartments in the town of Uzès to visiting tourists. He should not be snooping into other people’s lives, but he can’t resist. His friend, an elderly British artist named Christopher, warns him that one of these days he’s going to get himself into trouble.
Oliver isn’t paying attention. He’s preoccupied with the latest arrivals, a couple who has taken an apartment overlooking Place aux Herbes. There’s something mysterious about them that has Oliver intrigued, especially the wife, a beauty named Amanda Mallory. They are up to something, but what? Before he knows it, Oliver is in more hot water than he ever imagined, thanks to a sensual, irresistible woman who, if he isn’t careful, might just get him killed.

As the title suggests, these stories are a little darker, a little edgier, filled with page-turning excitement and suspense. Welcome to the dark edge; get ready for a walk on the wild side.
