A Publishers Weekly Best Mystery of 2008, this is the exceptional follow-up to Pierre Magnan's highly acclaimed Death in the Truffle Wood
Local handyman Emile discovers an envelope addressed to a Mlle Veronique in a disused mailbox. Being a former postman, he dutifully purchases a stamp and mails the letter. But when the body of this same Mlle Veronique is soon found murdered, Commissaire Laviolette is coaxed out of retirement to solve one of the most bizarre crimes imaginable.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.
