About this ebook
The King Arthur Case is the seventh installment of Jean-Luc Bannalec's bestselling mystery series.
The forest of Broceliande, with its picturesque lakes and castles, is the last remnant of the fairy kingdom, if Breton lore is to be believed. Innumerable legends spanning thousands of years are set here, inclding the tale of King Arthur and the Round Table.
It seems to be an appropriate destination for Commissaire Dupin and his team to take a late summer field trip. But when the body of a historian turns up, Dupin is called upon to investigate in the brutal murder case. Before too long, there are more victims. What knowledge do the assembled scientists have about the most recent archaeological digs in the area? Where do they stand on the controversial decision to turn parts of the forest into an amusement park? And why is no one willing to talk? Even Nolwenn, Dupin's unshakeable assistant, is concerned. And that means trouble.
Mysterious, ingenious, and suspenseful: Dupin's seventh case takes him and his team into the very heart of Brittany.

Brittany, cultural-exploration, historical-research, law-enforcement, procedural, small-town, superstitions, suspense, translated, thriller, Celtic heritage, teamwork, theft, murder, murder investigation, interagency cooperation***** Regardless of whether you are familiar with the ongoing characters (I am) or not, this is a fascinating book! The regulars (C Dupin and his investigators) were supposed to be off for a relaxing field trip for a day or two. That suddenly turns into a real race against the clock and then some! The murders begin, a rather cohesive bunch of lying professors/archaeologists drive the law enforcers nutz, legends of King Arthur are at the center of everything. Don't want to give anything away, but although it starts out a little murky, the lies and deceptions are worth trying to follow! Thanks to Peter Millar for translating! I requested and received a free e-book copy from St. Martin's Press/ Minotaur Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
