- Synopsis
- "Death in the Truffle Wood" introduced renowned French crime writer Pierre Magnan to rave American reviews. Now the celebrated Commissaire Laviolette is back in a second delectable mystery set in Provence. Emile Pencenat is in a cemetery, designing his own ornate tomb. In a disused postbox by the gate he discovers an envelope addressed to a Mlle Veronique Champourcieux. He is puzzled, but being a former postman, he dutifully purchases a stamp and posts the letter. When the body of this same Mlle Veronique is later discovered -- pinned to her own piano by a bayonet -- Commissaire Laviolette is coaxed out of retirement to solve one of the most bizarre crimes imaginable. Tautly plotted and brimming with suspense, "The Messengers of Death" is a story of dark vengeance and avarice that will thrill and intrigue Magnan's ever-growing audience in the English-speaking world.
