Long a renowned crime writer in France, Pierre Magnan has won numerous prizes and has a huge popular following in his native country. Now, with this mouthwatering series debut, Magnan introduces the celebrated Commissaire Laviolette to U.S. readers.
In a small, peaceful village in Provence, the principal source of income is the cultivation and sale of truf?es. When Commissaire Laviolette arrives to investigate why several of the town's citizens are missing, it isn't long before their bodies turn up. It takes all of the detective's ingenuity to unravel crimes whose origins are as old as the truf?e woods.

From the Back Cover:
British Acclaim for Pierre Magnan
"The master of Provençal Gothic."---Independent "The French have for many years been able to enjoy Pierre Magnan's extraordinary, eccentric crime novels set in Provence. [Death in the Truffle Wood] is one of the best. Magnan's vivid depiction of Provencal life is thoroughly enjoyable; but it's his perverse wit and imagination, and a sense of humanity, that make this book so special. Crime fiction for those with a soul."
---Sunday Independent
"Witty and melancholy. . . . If the plot . . . doesn't have your mouth watering, the loving descriptions of French food will."
---Daily Telegraph
"Entertaining and intriguing. A canny exercise in black humor and suspense."
---Time Out
"Genuinely breathtaking . . . More please."
---Evening Standard
