The Breton legacy

The eighth case for Commissaire Dupin, a lover of penguins and caffeine, a native Parisian transferred to Brittany—the end of the world—as punishment. In the “Blue Town” on the seashore, the Bretons are celebrating the start of summer, and everything would be wonderfully cheerful were it not for a body found right in front of L'Amiral, Dupin's favourite restaurant. The commissaire dives headfirst, so to speak, into a dramatic investigation, the outcome of which will shake him to the core. The protagonist of this thrilling crime novel, imbued with the atmosphere of Brittany, is the beautiful town of Concarneau: its harbours and beaches, galleries and restaurants, traditions and extraordinary history.
