The charming little French hotel was everything young Sue Talley had dreamed it would be - until it turned into a nightmare! First there was the handsome young American, Jim Sundean, to whom she was immediately attracted (that was good). Then there were two murders (that was BAD!). Even before Jim and Sue discovered the third body, they began to suspect that the outbreak of violence was somehow connected with Sue's arrival. As they penetrated ever deeper into the lethal secrets which the hotel harbored, Jim felt more and more certain that the killer would strike again. But only a white cockatoo knew that the next victim would be Sue Talley!
