Learn moreTen 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 the shore. At first glance the deaths appear accidental, but as the identities of the victims comes to light, cantankerous Commissaire Dupin is pulled back into action for a case of what seems to be cold-blooded murder.
Ever viewed as an outsider in a region full of myths and traditions, Dupin finds himself drawn once more deep into the history of the land. To get to the bottom of the case, Dupin must tangle with treasure hunters, militant marine biologists, and dangerous divers. The investigation leads him deep into the perilous, beautiful world of Brittany, as he discovers that there’s more to the picturesque islands than meets the eye.
Steeped in the enchanting atmosphere of Brittany, peppered with wry humor, and full of delicious local food, this superbly plotted mystery is perfect for fans of Martin Walker and G. M. Malliet.
Jean-Luc Bannalec is a pseudonym. The author divides his time between Germany and coastal Brittany in northwestern France. Death in Brittany, the first case for Commissaire Dupin, was published in Germany in 2012, where it sold six hundred thousand copies, spending many months on the bestseller list. It has been sold in over a dozen countries.

Reviews
“Riveting…Commentary on such subjects as tourism, ecology, and commercial development enhance the complex plot, as do vivid descriptions of the terrain…The final twist leaves readers wondering how justice is best served.”
“Very satisfying…along the lines of Martin Walker’s novels set in Dordogne, or M. L. Longworth’s Aix-en-Provence mysteries.”
“A triple murder opens a new world to Commissaire Georges Dupin of the Concarneau police…Like his debut, the hero’s second adventure is judicious in parceling out attention to character, setting, and, most of all, plot.”
