Deadly Camargue

Bestselling author Cay Rademacher delivers a captivating follow-up to his atmospheric Murderous Mistral with Deadly Camargue.

The narrative revolves around a baffling occurrence in Camargue, where a black fighting bull escapes its pasture, leaving a cyclist fatally gored. Suspicions are piqued as evidence surfaces, suggesting that someone left the gate open deliberately. The victim is Albert Cohen, a prominent Parisian journalist and television personality who was writing a significant article on Vincent van Gogh.

As Capitaine Roger Blanc tries to untangle this enigma, he discovers an incomplete, not-so-harmless report by Cohen. Delving deeper, he stumbles upon unsolved, high-profile burglary cases on the Côte d'Azur, and an old, deadly event that everyone is desperate to erase from their memories.

By the end, Blanc feels a little more at home in his new surroundings in Provence. But he pays a high price for it.
