Again this is an Elsie Lee heroine that connects the dots in a nefarious plot that everyone else overlooks. Danica may look like a wide-eyed art student, but her family background in art history and her knowledge of French uncovers a cache of World War II art and an art forgery scheme.
Suspenseful and romantic.
The cover description "The first mistake Danica Hughes made was talking to the attractive stranger who sat beside her on the airplane jetting her to Europe. The second mistake was picking up his attache case by accident, and carrying it off with her to her hotel in Paris. The third mistake was opening it, and discovering its suspicious contents....And now Danica knew she could not afford another mistake. Caught in a whirlpool of violence and deception, torn between a magnetic American wheeler-dealer and a devastatingly charming French aristocrat, she fled through a labyrinth of terror in an ancient French abbey, and one false step would be fatal."

This is a favorite of mine. Exotic location, suspense, a smarter than average heroine... Elsie Lee makes it all special.
From the back cover: Danica Hughes could not believe how much trouble she had fallen into since winning the design contest. First there was the mysterious stanger sitting next to her on the flight to Paris. Charming and polite, he intrigued Danica, but he seemed to disappear into thin air right after they landed. And then, to make matters worse, in his hurry, he took the wrong briefcase! But Danica's next mistake set in motion a chain of events that would almost cost her everything. She opend the stranger's briefcase and like a true Pandora's box, Danica could not stop the contents from jeopardising all she held dear. . . perhaps even proving fatal!
