Caravan to Vaccares

It seemed an idyllic tourist setting in the small town in the Southeast corner of France where Neil Bowman had come to await the arrival of the gypsies. Each year for centuries the gathering of those mysterious people from as far away as Transylvania and the shores of the Black Sea had added an extra splash of color and excitement to the local countryside, as they came to venerate the relics of their patron saint. This time however the annual pilgrimage concealed something far more sinister, bristling with violence and danger, as Bowman soon discovered when his curiosity led to a nearly fatal encounter in the grim limestone caves outside of town. Almost before he knew it he was on he run; the only question was who was pursuing whom: the gypsies, or Bowman and the attractive young English girl he had taken with him?
