Description
A KILLER. A SAINT. A TOWN FULL OF WHISPERS
When an English expat is brutally murdered, his charred corpse left on a Loire Valley hillside, the police turn to juge dβinstruction Matthieu Lombard to find the killer.
Instead, Lombard discovers a wealth of secrets, grudges and feuds in the idyllic town of Saint-GenΓ¨se-sur-Loire. He begins to suspect that the remaining members of the ComitΓ© des FΓͺtes know more about the death than they are letting on.
But rather than towards an arrest, each clue he uncovers seems to point in one, unexpected direction: Joan of Arc. Is the answer to the murder hiding in the barroom gossip of the Lion dβOr? Or in another century altogether?
