Inspector Rocco Series 1
France, 1963.
It's a time of great change in France, not least for Inspector Lucas Rocco. As part of a nationwide 'initiative' to broaden police operations, he finds himself moved from the Paris metropolis to a small village. His new patch might be rural, but it's certainly not uneventful: on his first day, he finds a murdered woman wearing a Gestapo uniform lying in a British military cemetery.
When the body is removed by order of a magistrate from the police mortuary before Rocco can finish his investigation, he realises he's up against a formidable enemy. An enemy who will go to any lengths - even murder - to stop his investigation.
Selected Praise
“Tremendous opening and the story builds thereafter into a wonderful crime thriller.”
“Excellent voyage through time and the marais of France. Well placed detective with a growing collection of other ongoing characters.”
