Title: Murder in the Rue Dumas
Description: When Dr. Georges Moutte is found murdered, Judge Antoine Verlaque is stumped. Moutte, the director of theology at the Université d' Aix, was just about to name the recipient of an elite fellowship as well as his own successor - a highly coveted position that includes a lavish apartment in a seventeenth-century mansion - when his lips were sealed permanently. Yet Verlaque isn't convinced that any of the academics are capable of murder. Turning Provence upside down, he uncovers a world far more complicated than universiy politics.
