Description

A mild and humble heart. In a seaside resort in the south of France, the episcopal motto chimes with Sophie's hopes for a peaceful Christmas. Reality, alas, decides otherwise. The troubled heart of a gangster's wife, the cynical heart of a wily Mayor, the raging heart of Sophie's sister, the shattered heart of a santon maker - all combine in an escalating drama of sin, guilt, jealousy, corruption and murder.

In the final book of the series, fates and futures are decided, unfinished business gets finished, and the story of the Gospel is given a new twist as God and Satan battle it out with theatrical intensity. No wonder the nativity play doesn't go quite as planned...
