Description
August brings sweltering heat to Provence, but for Capitaine Roger Blanc and his colleague Marius Tonon, it's just another day in the Camargue. A black fighting bull has escaped from its pasture, goring a cyclist in a bizarre accident that seems all too convenient. As Blanc delves deeper into the case, he uncovers evidence of intentional gate opening - but what does this have to do with the victim, Albert Cohen, a Parisian journalist and TV personality?
Cohen was in Provence researching an article on Vincent van Gogh, but his investigation has led him down a dark path. Blanc discovers Cohen's incomplete report, which hints at a sinister plot involving a spectacular burglary on the Côte d'Azur and a long-forgotten story that everyone wants to forget.
As Blanc gets to know his new surroundings in Provence, he begins to unravel the tangled threads of the mystery. But with each step forward, he pays a high price for his newfound understanding - and the truth behind Cohen's tragic death is more shocking than he ever could have imagined.
