Madame le Commissaire and the Death of the Chief of Police

The rasping of cicadas, the tangy smell of lavender and the azure blue ocean behind the gently undulating hills, shifted into the kingdom of fairy stories by a silvery veil of flickering light. The village of Fragolin in the hills of the Côte d’Azur would be the ideal place to unwind – but, as usual, Commissaire Isabelle Bonnet doesn’t have time. The alleged suicide of a high-ranking police officer, a visit from an eccentric acquaintance and the robbery in a jewellers ship on the Croisette in Cannes keeps Madame le Commissaire busy.
