Death of a Pilgrim by David Dickinson
When the first modern-day pilgrim is killed in Le Puy en Velay in Southern France, Lord Francis Powerscourt is summoned to investigate.
'This is detective fiction in the grand style; the characters and the plot soar upwards and carry us in their wakePowerscourt's debut in this intoxicating book is the start of a gilded life in the archives of crime.' * James Naughtie *
Dickinson textures his canvas with historical detail as thick as the oil paint on one of his favourite paintings by Turner. * Kirkus Reviews *
A cracking yarn, beguilingly real from start to finish... you have to pinch yourself to remind you that it is fiction - or is it? * Peter Snow *
