I grew up in Wales, was educated in England and have spent most of my life in France. I've been writing since the age of 10, when my first poem was sent to a competition by my English teacher. After moving to France, I ran a café-theatre till it got demolished, whereupon I scratched my head, wondering what to do next. Eventually I became a university lecturer, specialising in Second Language Acquisition, even though (apart, obviously, from French) I've spectacularly failed to learn any languages (I'm currently trying Dutch and can already say 'The turtle eats the sandwich', which is very encouraging). I spent two years in Mayotte, a tiny, unknown island in the Indian Ocean, which France bought for 1000 piastres in 1842. Magali Rousseau (my heroine) got into a lot of trouble there, but now, like me, she's back in Provence, where she jogs, paints, and catches murderers.

Who controls your life? You? Think again…
Three men reunited fifty years after the Event. So long ago now - it's gone, forgotten, insignificant. But a fourth man remembers only too well…
And now it's payback time.
Three men who went their separate ways, lived their own lives, took their own decisions - or so they thought. But what if someone else was deciding for them? Steering them in a direction chosen by him, luring them day by day, inch by inch towards the final reckoning. The anniversary. The celebration. The end.
But what is an anniversary without guests? Puzzled, bewildered, anxious, Melanie watches as the game unfolds, drawn into its grim, inexorable logic. As she finally grasps the horror that has shaped her life, she wonders if the future will ever be hers to decide. Or is she doomed to follow a course set in advance by forces beyond her control? Robbed of her belief that we act of our own free will, shaken to the core of her identity, will she ever be the person she thought she was? She only knows that she must count on no one but herself.
Unless, perhaps, she finds a companion she can trust.
