Loire Valley Mystery-A Very French Corpse

When two gruesome deaths occur weeks apart in the city of Tours, Lombard senses a malign coercive force is behind both fatalities and finds himself challenging his own loyalties.

AN IMMORTAL FOUND DEAD
AN ANCIENT LEGACY AT RISK

In the hallowed city of Tours, the death of a sixteen-year-old dressed as an ‘Immortal Knight’ appears to be a tragic overdose. Juge d’instruction Matthieu Lombard is called in to investigate.

When, weeks later, a provocative author is found brutally murdered, Lombard suspects the two deaths are connected by a sinister, coercive force. As he digs deeper, the case begins to challenge his loyalties and unearth disturbing echoes from his own past. What started as apparent roleplay turns into something far darker — and far deadlier.

The third book in the gripping crime series from the The Times-bestselling author.
