WWII is over and Europe
is trying to rebuild. Painter Francis Bacon and his lover witness a shooting
while leaving a gambling hall and then, a few days later, he’s asked to take a
packet to the widow of the man he tried to save. In exchange, the owner will
forgive his losses from that night. Finding this a strange request, he decides
to do it since he’s heading to France on vacation anyway. But a task that
should have been simple turns out to not be and Francis soon finds himself neck
deep in post-war intrigue.
At times this mystery
can be a bit tedious going, but for the most part it flows from one incident to
another with poor Francis stuck smack dab in the middle with not much choice
but to go along for the ride. It has its moments of being a bit hard to believe
and at times the plot is bit too twisty to follow. However, it did entertain me
and Francis is quite the character.
