An unidentified, faceless corpse is discovered near a memorial dedicated to villagers killed by the Nazis. The trail leads Pel from Burgundy to the frontiers of France, aided by a canny Sergeant Darcy and the shy, resourceful Sergeant Nosjean.
New varieties of crime are popping up everywhere in Inspector Pel’s beloved Burgundy. Raids on a historical chateau and surrounding churches lead to murder, and Pel is called to uncover who is behind the crime wave. The case leads him from Paris to Scotland Yard and back to the Tour de France cycle race.
The irascible Chief Inspector Pel basks in the warm glow of his marriage until a series of young women are found strangled, with macabre messages left next to them. Pel breaks his idyllic life in honeymoon heaven and begins an investigation among a student community. What ensues is a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Violence, the mugging of gay men, and the disappearance of a wealthy business man trouble Chief Inspector Pel, who is baited by superiors clamouring for more teamwork, technology, and sociologists. Has the business man been kidnapped or murdered? His family don’t seem to mind. Only Archer, his favourite staghound, seems anxious.
When five murders disturb his sleepy Burgundian city on Bastille night, Chief Inspector Evariste Clovis Desiré Pel has his work cut out for him. A terrorist group is at work and the President is due shortly on a State visit. Pel’s problems with his tyrannical landlady must be put aside whilst he catches the criminals.
There has been a sudden spate of murders around Burgundy where Pel has just been promoted to Chief Inspector. He also receives a letter bomb, and these combined events threaten to overturn Pel’s plans to marry. Can Pel keep his life, his love and his career by solving the murder mysteries? Can Pel stave off the predators?
A gang rob a supermarket, a home-made bomb is found at the airport, and the body of an old man is found on the motorway. Also, what is the connection between a fearful lawyer and the fatal stabbing of a tourist? On top of all this, Daniel Darcy, trusted deputy to Chief Inspector Pel has been suspended on suspicion of taking bribes.
Chief Inspector Pel and Brigade Criminelle are mobilised when a fatal stabbing, an anticipated delivery of lethal drugs, and the discovery of a corpse in an ancient tower all coincide with a frantic search for two murderous hitchhikers.
An extravagant, big time gangland criminal is ambushed and assassinated; the only witness a ten-year-old-boy. Chief Inspector Pel is called in to investigate the killing, which spirals into an international investigation when a respected spinster is bludgeoned to death and some curious links begin to clink into place.
Deep in the Burgundy countryside, a murder case is perplexing Inspector Pel. The body was found in the salon, an elegant room with a grand piano and a Louis XIV escritoire. The shutters were still closed and the dead end of a record of Rigoletto was still turning. There are some obvious suspects, yet the clothes of none of them show any signs of blood. And what were the tensions that must have torn at this family? It’s only when a second murder takes place that the method of the first becomes startlingly clear. Moody, sharp-tongued and worrying constantly about his health, Inspector Evariste Clovis Désiré Pel ensures that no case goes unsolved, in these mordantly witty French mysteries. Praise for the Inspector Pel Mystery series: ‘Totally convincing.’ Financial Times ‘Mr Hebden has created a nice band of flics.’ Oxford Times ‘Pel and his procedurals are some of the best things since Maigret.’ Observer ‘Chief Inspector Evariste Clovis Désiré Pel, as well rounded a character as Maigret or Van der Valk.’ Punch ‘Impeccable French ambience, unexaggerated flics, and a well-constructed solution. Hebden proves again that few understand Gallic cops better than English writers!’ The Times ‘Some characters grow as their saga lengthens and Pel... is one of them. You might say he is ripening along with the grapes.’ Police Review ‘...written with downbeat humour and some delightful dialogue.’ Financial Times ‘...all is most cunningly contrived and dovetailed into a coherent plot.’ Irish Times ‘A thoroughly entertaining read.’ Evening Standard ‘The best Gallic sleuth since Maigret.’ London Mystery Selection
