Sophie Roell, Journalist
“Peter May writes about a forensic investigator, Enzo Macleod, who sometimes in the series is in Scotland, but in this one has retired to southern France. He’s a workaholic, so he doesn’t enjoy being retired, and gets involved with an old mystery. It goes back to World War II, when this part of France was occupied by the Nazis, so you get elements of the French Resistance as well as stolen art treasures and all kinds of things going on within this mystery.” Read more...
