Reseña del editor

When five bodies are discovered hanging by their feet in Banon, a small and peaceful village in Provence in which the local community's principal source of income comes from the cultivation and sale of truffles, it takes all of Commissaire Laviolette's resources to unravel crimes that were committed in a climate of superstition and secret animosity. Reprint. 12,500 first printing.
