Lilou Braque investigates at Mont Ventoux: the holiday crime series from Provence continues
The lavender is in full bloom and the local racing bike community of Carpentras is in an uproar: the famous summit sign of Mont Ventoux has disappeared! Instead of the stolen sign, a search party comes across the body of a cyclist – apparently he died days ago in the rough terrain of the mountainside. Lilou Braque, a young police inspector, takes on the investigation and is in for a surprise: the dead man lived near Carpentras, but until two years ago, this man seems not to have existed at all. Is this why no one has missed him?
