Description Against the background of fascinating Provence, a fantastic case is solved.
Chief Inspector Littlejohn is sent to France to make informal enquiries about a motor accident.
But his job is not easy, for he finds himself amongst the sombre, secretive inhabitants of St.
Marcellin, a dying French village in the mountains of High Provence.
Dominated by the aristocratic Monsieur le Marquis, the village obstructs his every move.
But they had under-estimated the kindly, courteous Littlejohn.
ReviewsOne of the subtlest and wittiest practitioners of the simon-pure British detective story - The New York Times Mr Bellairs always gives good value - The Sunday Times Pure British detective story - The New York Times George Bellairs deserves to be much more well known, an excellent writer of proper well written and well crafted detective stories.
I cant wait to read my next one.
