The Pistols of Buenos Aires | The Belgian Detective Mystery Audiobook (The Archive)
Description
In 1930s Buenos Aires, the Belgian Detective and his steadfast companion enter the glittering household of a young, wealthy widow surrounded by jealous admirers, whispered letters, pious scrutiny, and a woman with a shadowed past, only for the hostess to be found dead beside an antique pistol and suspicion to spread through every devotion and every virtue; as motives sharpen into obsession and loyalty begins to look like leverage, the investigation exposes betrayal beneath elegance—and tests the companion’s own resolve when an old fascination resurfaces in the heat of a foreign city; The Pistols of Buenos Aires is an original Golden Age–style mystery of passion, reputation, and the perilous line between love and possession.
