Neptune King and the Murdered Journalist

Bainbridge then held out his hand to Shark and as they shook, he said, "My condolences, Mr. Johnson." Shark blinked in surprise. "Sorry? Condolences?" "For the loss of your equally famous brother. I am surprised to actually see you here still working instead of being at home with your family." Shark frowned, confused. "Uh, what exactly are you talking about?" "Your brother travels for his work, does he not?" Shark nodded. "Then there's no mistake, but I am sorry I'm the one that had to break this terrible news to you. Actually, I might still have a copy of the newspaper." He set his briefcase on the stair rail and opened it, rummaging inside for a minute. There were several newspapers in the case. He pulled one out and handed it to Shark. "It's in French I'm afraid. I like to keep my French language skills in practice by reading their newspapers." Shark took the paper and unfolded it. On the front page in huge letters was written: That is all it takes for Neptune and Shark to head for Paris to hunt for Lance's killer, while hoping against hope that the newspaper was wrong. In this, the 41st book of the Neptune King series, the detectives are once again at their best as the trail leads them from Ireland to Paris to corrupt politicians and an untouchable billionaire. Working in a foreign country they're not sure who they can trust until they meet a Frenchman, an ex-journalist who had clashed with their chief suspect for Lance's murder over the disappearance of his younger sister. He turns out to be the brother-in-law of the investigating officer, Ambrose Burdette. Finding an ally, they join forces determined to bring the killer to justice.
