But in his twenty-five years of service, Baxter--with a spotless reputation as a polished, well-mannered butler--has never run into any issues catering to the ultrawealthy. Until now.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBaxter's latest assignment is at Villa Sérénité, where Alec Prescott is hosting a colorful cast of characters, including his ex-wife, his much younger lady friend, and some Hollywood hotshots, after the Cannes Film Festival. But it doesn't take long for a week of sun, wine, and a family birthday celebration to devolve into bickering and backstabbing. And soon, secrets aren't the only thing floating to the surface . . .\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen one of the guests is found dead in the villa's glittering pool, the unflappable Baxter must assist the \u003ci\u003egendarmes\u003c\/i\u003e in determining who's responsible.
