Death in the Truffle Wood by Pierre Magnan
Long a renowned crime writer in France, Pierre Magnan has won numerous prizes and has a huge popular following in his native country. Now, with this mouthwatering series debut, Magnan introduces the celebrated Commissaire Laviolette to U.S. readers.
In a small, peaceful village in Provence, the principal source of income is the cultivation and sale of truf?es. When Commissaire Laviolette arrives to investigate why several of the town's citizens are missing, it isn't long before their bodies turn up. It takes all of the detective's ingenuity to unravel crimes whose origins are as old as the truf?e woods.Pierre Magnan was born in 1922 in Manosque, Provence. At the age of 13, he worked as a typographer, then dabbled in writing before landing a job with a haulage company. At the age of 54, he returned to writing thrillers after being laid off, and two of them, The Murdered House and Innocence, are set in Provence.
