Synopsis
When a doctor and her husband, a retired pilot, arrive in Eden-Olympia, they are confronted with a bit of a mystery. The investigation into the murder spree and suicide by the previous doctor in the exclusive (very, very exclusive) community outside of Cannes runs into a series of snags when it begins to look like the doctor not only didn't kill anyone, but that he didn't commit suicide either.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The first person I met at Eden-Olympia was a psychiatrist, and in many ways it seems only too apt that my guide to this "intelligent" city in the hills above Cannes should have been a specialist in mental disorders. I realize now that a kind of waiting madness, like a state of undeclared war, haunted the office buildings of the business park. For most of us, Dr. Wilder Penrose was our amiable Prospero, the psychopomp who steered our darkest dreams towards the daylight. I remember his eager smile when we greeted each other, the evasive eyes that warned me away from his outstretched hand. Only when I learned to admire this flawed and dangerous man was I able to think of killing him."
