Description

'As he walked away from the phone there was a puzzled expression on Blampignon’s massive countenance. He was thinking: Le Touquet again!'

For Nigel Derry, Easter celebrations at the country house of his charming though unpredictable aunt Gwenny Marrable were a highlight of the calendar. This year, the knife fight between the guests somewhat tarnished the experience. Disgruntled following the fracas, Gwenny departs for France, telegramming her nephew from Le Touquet asking him to join her in the South at the beautiful Villa Paradou. When he arrives at the Côte d’Azur, it is too late – Gwenny Marrable has been found murdered.

To complicate matters for Inspector Blampignon of the Sûreté Nationale, it seems that the victim may have been killed in the north of France, 800 miles away from where she was discovered. The eccentric Blampignon embarks on a thrilling race to discover the truth in one of John Bude’s rarest and most spirited mystery novels.
