Trainee detective constable Mary Lester has been sent to Brittany’s great Southern seaport, Lorient.
A tramp drowns in the river Scorff, a supermarket manager vanishes into the air, juvenile delinquents go in for a bit of chainsaw-powered breaking and entering…
For detective constable Marc Amedeo, this is just uneventful daily routine. Peace and quiet rule in Lorient police station… or did so until Mary Lester starts knitting these apparently trivial incidents into a full blown multiple murder case!
Intrepid investigator Mary Lester is the heroine of a series of 64 best-selling novels by Jean Failler, who sets his mysteries in towns all over Brittany. In the last thirty years, he has sold 4 million copies of the Mary Lester books, several of which have been dramatized on French TV.
