She’d run the streets of Eze once before chasing a thief. Now here she was doing it again. The ancient cobblestones were their usual slick, unforgiving selves, and the crowds and twisting path made the effort more difficult. Her target had a thirty-meter head start, moving fast.

Her adrenaline was pumping.

A shopkeeper shouted out, asking if she needed help, but she didn’t stop to answer.

The thief rounded a corner.

She caught up and followed.

Ahead was a dead-end street. She raced forward. In front of her rose a two-story stone-front house typical for Eze. Where had he gone? She approached the house and tried the door.

Locked.

Was he inside? Not possible. That would have taken a moment or two to open and close the door, and she would have seen that.

Then she saw it.

A narrow alley between the house before her and the next one, partially concealed by an overgrown bougainvillea vine. She pushed the flowers aside and slipped through, hustling down the narrow passage, barely a half meter wide. At its end she saw the maps lying on the ground within their plastic sleeves. She carefully retrieved them and stared out beyond a waist-high rock wall that guarded the edge of the steep hilltop. Four hundred meters below stretched the Mediterranean Sea. Most of the paths leading down were rocky, overgrown, and dangerous. The drop from the wall to the first bit of solid earth was over ten meters. No way someone jumped that and didn’t break a bone. A strong breeze blew in off the sea, the trees swaying to its tune like they were mocking her failure.

She’d lost the thief.

But she had the maps.

She turned to start the walk back to the shop.

A figure stood behind her.

Not Froubert. Someone else.

She heard a hiss.

A spicy scent again filled her nostrils. Her eyes lost focus. She felt a sensation of falling, which accelerated, but she never hit bottom.

As nothingness came fast.
