A Dark Past and a Dangerous Road to Discovering the TruthThe first book of the Hardy Durkin Travel Mysteries, Corsican Justice, introduces the main character, Hardy Durkin, as he travels to the French isle of Corsica to mix some business with mostly pleasure. Or so he thinks. Hardy is a hiking tour outfitter who hosts small groups of successful business people and professionals seeking refuge from their fast-paced lives in off-the-beaten-path destinations in Europe.
Hardy is a multi-lingual former pentathlete with a high-tech background in interpreting electronic intelligence and dual German-American citizenship. The GR-20, Europe's most challenging hiking trail, is in Hardy's sights to explore with the possibility of adding it to his hiking venues. Hardy also seeks closure for the accidental death of his father several years earlier in a motorcycle accident in Les Calanches region along Corsica's western coast.
After Hardy's attempted murder and subsequent kidnapping, he learns that his father's accident was really murder and he vows to avenge this dad's untimely death. He finds himself involved with the French Foreign Legion, the Russian mob, and an arms-smuggling Corsican gang as he struggles to bring a killer to justice and close a painful cold-case murder. Bluette Matthey is a third-generation Swiss American, an avid lover of Europe and its cultures, and a keen reader of mysteries.
Her love of travel is shared by her husband, who formerly owned a tour outfitter business in Europe. Bluette maintains a mental list of hikes and pilgrimages she still wants to do throughout Europe. She currently lives in Le Locle, Switzerlsnd with her husband, and band of loving cats.
