Kommissar Dupins zweiter Fall

Bretonische Brandung

In all of Commissaire Georges Dupin’s time living in Brittany, there has never been a murder on his home turf, until The Body by the Sea. A town on the sea, Concarneau’s nickname is Ville Bleue, or the Blue Town. With three harbors at its center, visitors can see enormous ships, sailors, fisherman, and the industry that goes alongside it. Because of its geographical location, Concarneau has shown it’s perfectly positioned to protect its inhabitants from enemy attacks. For this reason and more, including his favorite restaurant, L'amiral, Commissaire Georges Dupin calls this town home. Most of his colleagues are on vacation for the Pentecost long weekend, but Dupin remains. His future in-laws are coming to visit. But what happens when an enemy attacks from within? Dupin’s plans as host must change when the body of Doctor Chaboseau is discovered. Chaboseau fell to his death, pushed from his home above L'amiral. With only two new colleagues to help—no one else is answering their phone—Dupin is tasked with finding out what happened to the doctor.

A Mystery

Death in Brittany

"Roll over Maigret. Commissaire Dupin has arrived." —M.C. Beaton on Death in Brittany "Very satisfying...along the lines of Martin Walker’s novels set in Dordogne, or M.L. Longworth’s Aix-en-Provence mysteries." —Booklist on Murder on Brittany Shores 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.

The Missing Corpse

Un pueblo pintoresco y plácido, un extraño asesinato, un secreto celosamente guardado y un comisario huraño que, por fin, tiene un caso. El misterio de Pont-Aven es el primer caso del Comisario Dupin, protagonista de la serie de novela policíaca ambientada en la Bretaña francesa que se ha convertido en un éxito de ventas. Ya han pasado más de dos años desde que el comisario Georges Dupin fue «forzosamente trasladado» a lo que él considera el fin del mundo: Concarneau, en la costa bretona. Allí nunca pasa nada, aparte de los atascos en verano, cuando toda la región se convierte en el destino turístico por excelencia. Pero una mañana de julio, al inicio de la temporada alta, recibe una llamada. En el idílico pueblo cercano de Pont-Aven se ha cometido un asesinato incomprensible. Pierre-Louis Pennec, el dueño del legendario hotel Central, en el que a finales del siglo XIX se alojaron Paul Gauguin y otros pintores famosos, ha sido brutalmente apuñalado. ¿Quién querría matar a un anciano de noventa y un años, una bellísima persona? ¿Y por qué? Cuando poco después aparece un segundo cadáver en la costa, Dupin comprende que tiene entre manos un caso más complejo de lo esperado. Aunque la presión de los políticos locales aumenta, y los habitantes de Pont-Aven guardan un silencio obstinado, el comisario, a quien no siempre le resulta fácil morderse la lengua, se mantiene fiel a su peculiar estilo de investigación. Y es que la pregunta inesperada puede arrojar la pista que hasta entonces estaba eludiéndole, y sacar a la luz un secreto por el que valdría la pena matar. El misterio de Pont-Aven, una versión moderna de las novelas clásicas de detectives, causó sensación en Alemania donde, gracias a la recomendación de libreros y lectores, escaló a los primeros puestos de las listas de los libros másvendidos, entre los que permaneció durante 42 semanas. Reseñas: «Una elegante y seductora intriga. Asomarse a este pueblo, con personajes algunos de ellos exquisitamente provincianos, otros maravillosamente gourmets, es una de las mejores ideas para este verano.» La Vanguardia «Con El misterio de Pont-Aven, ahora ya existe una alternativa a Donna Leon para este verano.» Buchmarkt «El caso del comisario Dupin, un parisino hasta la médula desterrado a la remota Bretaña, convence a los lectores con una trama sólida y un derroche de colorido local.» Börsenblatt «Imprescindible si alguien tiene pensado ir de vacaciones a la Bretaña, pues no solo encontrará en esta novela una excelente guía de viaje, sino también misterio y suspense servidos con ostras, fiestas populares tradicionales, deliciosas especialidades gastronómicas y enrevesados apellidos bretones.» WDR 5

Ten miles off the coast of Brittany lie the fabled Glénan Islands. Boasting sparkling white sands and crystal-clear waters, they seem perfectly idyllic, until one day in May, three bodies wash up on shore.

Ever viewed as an outsider in a region full of myths and traditions, Dupin finds himself drawn deep into the history of the land. To get to the bottom of the case, he must tangle with treasure hunters, militant marine biologists, and dangerous divers. The investigation leads him further into the perilous, beautiful world of Glénan, as he discovers that there's more to the picturesque islands than meets the eye. Steeped in the enchanting atmosphere of Brittany and peppered with wry humor, Murder on Brittany Shores is a superbly plotted mystery that marks the return of Jean-Luc Bannalec's international bestselling series starring the cantankerous, coffee-swigging Commissaire Dupin.

Murder on Brittany Shores

Commissaire Dupin is back in The Fleur de Sel Murders, this Brittany mystery from international bestselling author Jean-Luc Bannalec. The old salt farmers have always said that the violet scent of the Fleur de Sel at harvest time on the salt marshes of the Guérande Peninsula has been known to cause hallucinations. Commissaire Dupin also starts to believe this when he’s attacked out of the blue in the salt works. He had actually been looking forward to escaping his endless paperwork and taking a trip to the “white country” between the raging Atlantic Ocean and idyllic rivers. But when he starts snooping around mysterious barrels on behalf of Lilou Breval, a journalist friend, he finds himself unexpectedly under attack. The offender remains a mystery, and a short time later, Breval disappears without a trace. It is thanks to his secretary Nolwenn and the ambition of the prefect that Dupin is assigned to the case. But he won’t be working alone because Sylvaine Rose is the investigator responsible for the department—and she lives up to her name... What’s going on in the salt works? Dupin and Rose search feverishly for clues and stumble upon false alibis, massive conflicts of interest, personal feuds—and ancient Breton legends.
