The Elusive Elixir

An unsolved crime from 1942. A dangerous secret linked to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. And a woman threatening to expose alchemist Zoe Faust’s own secrets.

Dorian Robert-Houdin, the three-and-a-half-foot gargoyle chef who fancies himself a modern-day Poirot, is slowly turning into stone. From Paris, France, to Portland, Oregon, can Zoe Faust unlock the Elixir of Life a second time to save her best friend Dorian? When they discover that a long-lost stone gargoyle with a connection to Dorian has reappeared in Europe, the stakes become even higher.
