Mayhem In Saint-Malo - Tome 8 eBook

Mary Lester is a French police lieutenant in Quimper, but she has been sent to Saint-Malo to investigate a beautiful young woman’s death. The local superintendent concluded that the woman died of natural causes. Mary, who is both inquisitive and independent, thinks he is dead wrong. Not only that, but unless she takes decisive action, more lives may be lost… Intrepid investigator Mary Lester is the heroine of a series of 64 best-selling novels by Jean Failler, who sets his mysteries in towns all over Brittany. In the last thirty years, he has sold 4 million copies of the Mary Lester books, several of which have been dramatized on French TV. "Mayhem in Saint-Malo" was his first novel published in English, followed by "Drizzly days in Lanester."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Jean Failler was born in Quimper where he has lived ever since. His childhood dreams were fed by the seafaring tales of his grandfather, a remarkable storyteller and professional fisherman who used to takes him aboard during the holidays.

For 20 years, Jean Failler worked as a full-time fish-monger but, somehow, he still managed to write 16 plays (5 staged) and several short stories, children’s books and historical novels. After selling his fish-monger’s shop, Jean Failler was at last able to fully devote himself to his passion and has graced us with 63 Mary Lester investigations where good humour and intrigue are our travelling companions throughout Brittany, all with that special tangy flavour of sailor-borne irony.
