Madame le Commissaire gets company: say hello to Monsieur le Comte!
 

Lucien Comte de Chacarasse comes from an old French noble family, which for generations has passed on a special art: the art of killing. According to the legend, his ancestors were extremely discrete contract killers, who worked for the Bourbons, Napoleon, the Vatican and even the Medici.

Although Lucien was trained for this task from an early age, he quit it as a young man and instead runs a bistro in Villefranche-sur-Mer. He loves the women, the wine and the culinary delights of Provence. Lucien’s carefree life comes to an end when he is called to the deathbed of his seriously injured father, who has him swear that he will carry on the family tradition. But how can you carry out a contract killing when you refuse to murder?

  

“Pierre Martin travels with us to Provence and writes atmospherically. About people and crimes — in scented lavender fields, small towns and azure blue sea.” Für Sie about Madame le Commissaire und die Frau ohne Gedächtnis
