The Missing Corpse is internationally bestselling
author, Jean-Luc Bannalec’s fourth novel in the Commissaire
Dupin series. It’s picturesque, suspenseful, and the next
best thing to a trip to Brittany.
Along the picturesque Belon River, home of the world famous
oyster beds, between steep cliffs, ominous forests and the
Atlantic Ocean, a stubborn elderly film actress discovers a
corpse. By the time Commissaire Dupin arrives at the scene,
the body has disappeared. A little while later, he receives
a phone call from the mystical hills of Monts d'Arree, where
legends of fairies and the devil abound: another
unidentified body has turned up. Dupin quickly realizes this
may be his most difficult and confounding case yet, with
links to celtic myths, a sand theft operation, and
mysterious ancient druid cults.
