A KILLER. A SAINT. A TOWN FULL OF WHISPERS. When English expat Graham Singleterry is brutally murdered, his charred corpse left on a Loire Valley hillside, the police turn to juge d'instruction Matthieu Lombard to find the perpetrator. Instead, Lombard discovers a wealth of secrets, grudges and feuds in the idyllic town of Saint-Genèse-sur-Loire. He begins to suspect that the remaining members of the Comité des Fêtes know more about Singleterry's death than they are letting on. But rather than towards an arrest, each clue he uncovers seems to point in one, unexpected direction: Joan of Arc. Is the answer to Singleterry's murder hiding in the barroom gossip of the Lion d'Or? Or in another century altogether? The thrilling new crime series from The Times-bestselling author of Death and Croissants.
