About this listen
Lovable rogue and sleuth extraordinaire Sam Levitt is back in another beguiling, as-only-Peter-Mayle-can-write-it romp through the South of France.
At the end of The Vintage Caper, Sam had just carried off a staggering feat of derring-do in the heart of Bordeaux, infiltrating the ranks of the French elite to rescue a stolen, priceless wine collection. With the questionable legality of the adventure - and the threat of some very powerful enemies! - Sam thought it’d be a while before he returned to France, especially with the charms of the beautiful Elena Morales to keep him in Los Angeles.
But when the immensely wealthy Francis Reboul - the victim of Sam’s last heist but someone who knows talent when he sees it - asks our hero to take a job in Marseille, it’s impossible for Sam and Elena to resist the possibility of further excitement... to say nothing of the pleasures of the region. Soon the two are enjoying the coastal sunshine and the delectable food and wine for which Marseille is known. Yet as a competition over Marseille’s valuable waterfront grows more hotly disputed, Sam, representing Reboul, finds himself in the middle of an increasingly intrigue-ridden and dangerous real-estate grab, with thuggish gangsters on one side and sharklike developers on the other.
Will Sam survive this caper unscathed? Will he live to enjoy another bowl of bouillabaisse? All will be revealed - with luck, savvy, and a lot of help from Sam’s friends - in the novel’s wonderfully satisfying climax.

Peter Mayle Strikes Again
This is an enjoyable read from the series of the 'Caper' novels by the author of 'A Year in Provence'. Our hero Sam is a smooth aristocratic mover with a soft spot for shady guys in trouble. With beautiful friend Elena they dive in to solve the crime while eating and cavorting across the South of France. Good plot points and cliff hangers with generous humour throughout. True escapism. However, the narrator's thick accent made it less enjoyable.
