Fiction
April 1990: French-Algerian judge Anne Marie Laveaud has been living and working in the French Caribbean dΓ©partement of Guadeloupe for more than a decade, but her days are still full of surprises. She is only just starting to investigate the suspicious suicide of a high-profile environmental activist and media personality when she is pulled off the case. Is it because she was getting too close to the truth? But the new case sheβs been assigned takes precedence. The naked body of a white woman has been discovered on a beach. The victimβs remains offer no clues about her final hoursβshe was found without any of her belongings, and it seems she had been dead at least three days before anyone spotted her corpse. What turned this womanβs vacation in paradise into a final nightmare? As always, the story of a murdered white woman attracts international media attention. The pressure is on Anne Marie to solve the murder quickly, before bad publicity destroys the islandβs all-important tourist industry.
