From all over Europe - even from behind the Iron Curtain - the gypsies make their annual pilgrimage to Provence. The Duc de Croytor, distinguished folklorist and gastronome, is there, and so is Englishman Neil Bowman. But something is different about this year's gathering... What is the secret the gypsies are so determined to hide? Bowman comes too close to it for safety, and before long he is running for his life. From the dizzy ramparts of Les Baux to the vast limestone caverns beneath, from fiesta in Arles to the flat, salty plains of the Camargue, from the terror of the bull-ring to collisions at sea, the pace never falters.

Footprints and a dead woman bring together Superintendent Minton and the amateur sleuth Mr Cardew. Who is the man in the shrubbery? Who is the singer of the haunting Moorish tune? Why is Hannah Shaw so determined to go to Pawsy, 'a dog lonely place' she had previously detested? Death lurks in the dark and someone must solve the mystery before BIG FOOT strikes again, in a yet more fiendish manner.
