Description
It is springtime in France's Perigord, a time of beauty and calm. But not for Bruno, chief of police of the small town of St Denis. A woman's body has been found on a boat, bearing signs of a black magic ritual.
Bruno has too much on his plate as it is—mediating a domestic abuse case that needs careful handling and a dodgy local development proposal that seems just too good to be true.
But a murder case must take precedence, and the roots of this one lie buried deep in the past—linked to a chateau above a bend in the river, to the reclusive old woman who lives there, and to the secret hidden in The Devil's Cave.
