A Sense for Silver
About this book
'A Sense for Silver' is an intriguing mystery, setting the radiance of Paris in relief against its darker side, exploring Paris's magic, its flavours and its diversity.Ellyn Boswell, a young silversmith with an uncanny gift of discerning precious metals by touch, escapes to Paris after her father is reported killed in a cliff fall. Her signature Byzantine bracelets help her find work with an old jeweller in the city's best food street, where her love of sharing food helps her make friends. She hates liars and thieves, but she has something they want. Is she being followed for her sense for silver or because of some backlash from her father's shady dealings?
