Título: Death on the Marais
Autor: Adrian Magson
Sinopse: France, 1963. It's a time of great change in France, not least for Inspector Lucas Rocco. Taken out of his home base of Clichy, Paris, as part of a nationwide "initiative" to broaden police operations, he finds himself in the village of Poissons-Les-Marais, Picardie and answerable to his former army CO, now police Commissaire Francois Massin, last seen by Rocco cowering in a foxhole in Indochina. On his first day, he finds a murdered woman wearing a Gestapo uniform lying in a British military cemetery, he knows life will be far from boring. When the body is removed by order of a magistrate from the police mortuary before Rocco can finish his investigation, he traces the paperwork to the dead woman's father, war hero and big-time industrialist Philippe Bayer-Berbier. Yet Berbier denies that his daughter is dead. Following an attempt on one villager's life and the disappearance of another, Rocco uncovers a series of connections with Berbier and his activities in the SOE and the wartime Resistance. In spite of an official wall of bureaucracy and a strained relationship with Massin, he sets out to uncover what has led to the woman's death--and why Berbier will go to any lengths, even murder--to stop his investigation.
