Christmas Eve is the worst time of year to be looking for a missing person.

Calypso Bergère just wants to get home. It's Christmas Eve and the eighteen-year-old student is excitedly looking forward to the celebrations. But when, after finishing work for the day, she calls on her favourite teacher, her excitement turns to alarm.

The professor is nowhere to be seen, and there are traces of blood in her apartment. Uncertain what to do or whether her concern is justified, Calypso finds a puzzling hand-drawn map in one of the rooms.

Can Calypso make sense of the map and the intention behind it, and discover what has happened to the missing woman?

Calypso and the Christmas Map is the second book in the Calypso Bergère Mysteries series, set in the troubled, intriguing world of 1930s France.

If you like resourceful female characters, richly detailed historical settings, and gripping Christmas stories, then you'll love J.P. Sorel's absorbing mystery.
