Fatal Music: A Captain Darac Mystery Peter Morfoot 9781783296668 [USED COPY]

Captain Paul Darac of the Brigade Criminelle is called to a potential crime scene - an elderly woman found dead in her hot tub. At first it's assumed that she died of natural causes, but a surprising link with Darac's own life leads him to dig deeper. In doing so he uncovers disturbing proof that there may have been a motive to murder the woman, and there is no shortage of suspects.The investigation leads him from the world of fine art to the desperate poverty of the city's high-rises. But it is among the winding streets of his own neighbourhood in Nice's old town, the Babazouk, that Darac faces his severest test yet.

A new, absorbing crime series set in Nice, featuring Captain Paul Darac of the Brigade Criminelle. Highly atmospheric and tightly plotted, this will appeal to fans of Michael Dibdin and Andrea Camilleri. Reminiscent of Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano series and Conor Fitzgerald's Alec Blume novels.
