Inspector Dupin and Claire are spending their honeymoon on the Loire, in the gorgeous Pays de Retz. They’ll go from vineyard to vineyard, from one culinary delight to the next – that was the plan, anyway. But then a friend of Claire’s needs help and a terrible murder occurs. Are the two things connected? Inspector Dupin’s twelfth case takes us into the world of winemakers and to Brittany’s largest lake, the Lac de Grand-Lieu, former home of the famous Guerlain cosmetics dynasty.
