Knock 'em Dead by Peter Morfoot
Darac has much on his mind as the team is called to the death of an elderly man at St. Laurent rain station. The victim is identified as hard-bitten ex-comedy star Ambroise Paullaud, born locally and only recently returned to the area. Intrigue: Darac learns that the village to which Paillaud retired had pitilessly expelled his family when he was a boy. More forgiving still, his will reveals that he left his vast fortune to the village. Gradually, Darac will untie a knot of greed, corruption, blackmail and murder which exposes Paillaud's true planm and which brings other malign forces to the surface.
