  • "Sam's last adventure sent him to France in search of a missing wine collection, but he thought it'd be a while before he was back, especially with the charms of the fiery Elena Morales to keep him settled in Los Angeles. But when the immensely wealthy Francis Reboul, the recent victim of Sam's own counter-heist, asks him to take a job in Marseille, it's impossible for Sam and Elena to resist. The lure of further excitement and the pleasures of the region beckon them back to France. Quelle joie! Yet as competition over Marseille's valuable waterfront grows more hotly disputed, Sam, representing Reboul, finds himself right in the middle, with intrigue and danger following closely behind."
  • "Spannung und mediterrane Lebenslust pur - der neue Bestseller von Peter Mayle Sam Levitt, ein Schlitzohr mit ausgeprägten Hang zum leichten Leben hart an der Grenze der Legalität, möchte nur noch sein wiedergefundenes Liebesglück mit der umwerfend attraktiven Elena geniessen. Da erhält er von einem alten Bekannten, dem Grossunternehmer Reboul, einen heiklen Auftrag: Er soll in Marseille für ein Bauprojekt werben, das die Fischerbucht östlich vom alten Hafen aufwertet. Reboul selbst will im Hintergrund bleiben. Voller Elan nimmt Sam seine Arbeit in Marseille auf, merkt jedoch schon bald merkt, dass jede Bouillabaisse hier seine letzte sein könnte: Geschäftsmänner aus London, und schlimmer noch - jedenfalls für die Menschen in Marseille - aus Paris wollen ebenfalls den lukrativen Bauauftrag an Land ziehen und schrecken vor Gewalt nicht zurück. Peter Mayle wurde 1939 in Brighton/England geboren. Er war Kellner, Busfahrer und erfolgreicher Werbetexter, bevor er 1975 dauerhaft in die Provence zog und Schriftsteller wurde. Seine Bücher 'Mein Jahr in der Provence' und 'Toujours Provence' wurden Millionenbestseller. Auch seine beiden letzten Romane, 'Ein guter Jahrgang' (Blessing, 2004) und 'Ein diebisches Vergnügen' (Blessing, 2010) stürmten die Bestsellerlisten in aller Welt."
