Synopsis
Villefranche, which lies between Nice and Monte Carlo, held a strange fascination for John Railton - until its beauty suddenly seemed to shatter before his eyes. There was more than one woman in his life. Perhaps his sins were tiny sins, but they recoiled on him with a fierceness that threatened to crush his whole world to pieces. In this story, tenderness mingles with passion, with fear, and as the suspense grows, steadily the reader walks a tightrope between the warmth of family love and the cold harshness of life.
