The Murdered House by Pierre Magnan

In 1920 Seraphin Monge, scarred by the horrors of the war, returns to the family inn of La Burliere in Upper Provence and begins to demolish it, stone by stone. Twenty years before, on a night of deafening storms, the remote inn was the scene of the terrible massacre of Monge s family, from which only he, then a baby, escaped. Three men had been guillotined for the crime but Monge begins to realise that the true culprits evaded justice and are still at large. Haunted by nightmare visions and dreams of his mother, Monge begins a quiet march of revenge against her killers but for each murder that he plots, another hand silently executes it in his place. The Murdered House is a gripping and original thriller in which the protagonist unearths fearful and unexpected secrets and sets in motion a dreadful unveiling of the past.
