Description
A small town, a beautiful stranger,
and a crime no-one can ever forget...
When three generations of a wealthy German family are brutally murdered in their Provençal home, Jacquot's investigation rapidly turns into one of the most baffling - and personal - cases of his career.
After a local man is arrested for the murders, Jacquot cannot shift the feeling that there's something they've all missed. His suspicions are confirmed when a mysterious young woman arrives in the village claiming a special insight.
With her help, Jacquot follows a trail that leads back more than half a century - a story of love and betrayal, hatred and blackmail, in which Jacquot's own family had a tragic part to play.

Reviews for the Jacquot series...
"Well-drawn and strongly flavoured... Rich, spicy, and served up with unmistakeable relish."
- The Literary Review
"French country life has never been so fraught with sinister atmosphere, and it is only a matter of time before readers will be eagerly anticipating each new trip to Daniel Jacquot's France."
- Barry Forshaw, The Rough Guide to Crime Fiction
"The 87th Precinct gallicized. O'Brien serves up a first-rate series hero."
- The Kirkus Review (US)
"Brilliant police procedurals. If you have read any of the books by Fred Vargas then you will certainly enjoy the Jacquot series as well."
- Ayo Onatade, reviewingtheevidence.com
