Welcome to Litsy!

Commissaire Dupin is back in The Fleur de Sel Murders, this Brittany mystery from international bestselling author Jean-Luc Bannalec. The old salt farmers have always said that the violet scent of the Fleur de Sel at harvest time on the salt marshes of the Gu�rande Peninsula has been known to cause hallucinations. Commissaire Dupin also starts to believe this when he�s attacked out of the blue in the salt works. He had actually been looking forward to escaping his endless paperwork and taking a trip to the �white country� between the raging Atlantic Ocean and idyllic rivers. But when he starts snooping around mysterious barrels on behalf of Lilou Breval, a journalist friend, he finds himself unexpectedly under attack. The offender remains a mystery, and a short time later, Breval disappears without a trace. It is thanks to his secretary Nolwenn and the ambition of the prefect that Dupin is assigned to the case. But he won�t be working alone because Sylvaine Rose is the investigator responsible for the department�and she lives up to her name... What�s going on in the salt works? Dupin and Rose search feverishly for clues and stumble upon false alibis, massive conflicts of interest, personal feuds�and ancient Breton legends.
