In a gripping and skilfully crafted novel, Martin O'Brien serves up a murderous slice of French country life, laced with dark secrets and chilling menace.
Murder can be messy. Especially multiple murders. This one is particularly gruesome. A shotgun was fired repeatedly at close range, and a German family living in Provence is wiped out - five deaths in all if you count the unborn child. Chief Inspector Daniel Jacquot has never seen anything like it. With memories of the atrocities committed during World War II circulating through the local villages, Jacquot must act quickly. When a strange young woman arrives claiming a special insight, her presence could be the breakthrough Jacquot needs. Together they follow a trail that leads back more than half a century - a story of love, betrayal, hatred and blackmail in which Jacquot's own family had a tragic part to play.
