A crime mystery set in 1960s rural France, featuring “a noir hero in the best tradition, solitary, hard-bitten and haunted by the horrors of his past” (Historical Novels Review). Danger and intrigue follow him wherever he goes. France, 1963. It's a time of great change, not least for Inspector Lucas Rocco. As part of a nationwide initiative to broaden police operations, he finds himself moved from the Paris metropolis to a small village. His new patch might be rural, but it’s certainly not uneventful: on his first day, he finds a murdered woman wearing a Gestapo uniform, lying in a British military cemetery. When the body is removed by order of a magistrate from the police mortuary before Rocco can finish his investigation, he realizes he’s up against a formidable enemy. An enemy who will go to any lengths—even murder—to stop his investigation. A pulse-pounding historical crime thriller, perfect for fans of Martin Walker, Maigret and Mark Billingham. “Adrian Magson is a classic crime star in the making.” —Daily Mail
