Hardy is visiting Corsica for the first time to explore the possibility of arranging a hiking tour for segments of Corsica's infamous hiking trail, the GR20. He also seeks some closure for the fact that his father was killed in a highway accident on the island several years earlier. When Hardy learns his father was actually murdered, his world is shaken; he seeks the truth amid arms smuggling, Russian mobsters, and judicial corruption. Corsican Justice encompasses justice on several levels, with an understanding of the Corsican vendetta as the core of the island's justice system that goes back centuries.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Bluette Matthey is a 3rd generation Swiss American and an avid lover of Europe and its cultures. She is a keen reader of mysteries and, in particular, of mysteries that bring the reader new discoveries of places and the flavor of their history, inhabitants, culture and food. Her love of travel, except for airports (when she always has a mystery novel in hand to while away the time) is shared by her husband, who formerly owned a tour outfitter business in Europe. Bluette is particularly attracted to exploring regions that are not on the usual "15 days in Europe" itineraries. She also enjoys off-the-beaten-path places in well-known areas such as the various London Walks, and believes that walking and hiking bring her closer to the real life and people of any place. Bluette maintains a mental list of hikes and pilgrimages she still wants to do throughout Europe. She currently lives in western North Carolina with her husband, faithful dog and a band of loving cats.
