Summer in Brittany has carried into October, bringing warm, sunny days and balmy nights. For Commissaire Georges Dupin and his team, it also brings a heavy blow. Second inspector Kadeg’s aunt has passed away after being struck by a series of omens of death. And when Kadeg travels to the former abbey where his aunt lived, he’s attacked and critically injured.
Determined to find out what happened, Dupin and his team head to the aunt’s estate on the Côte des Légendes. It’s a place that at any other time would be paradise. Dupin has always believed that monks always knew where to settle, in the most beautiful and safest of places. But the more the team looks into what happened at the former abbey, the more questions are uncovered, and the more secrets Kadeg’s family seems to have.
