In this mystery set in 1960s France, a rural police inspector is on his own when no one believes his suspicions of three seemingly normal English tourists.

France, 1963. A farmer reports a truck ramming into a car near Amiens, Picardie, followed by gunfire. A group of Englishmen are brought in after a bar fight. A homeless man’s body is discovered in a burnt-out truck.

All this occurs after multiple attempts on the President’s life. Inspector Lucas Rocco knows there's a connection somewhere. Yet despite all clues pointing to the Pont Noir for the next attack on the President, his superiors reject his suspicions.

Finding himself suspended, the victim of a set-up, with no badge and no authority, and facing the lethal response of English gangsters, Rocco must go it alone . . .

This fully revised, new edition is perfect for fans of Georges Simenon, Martin Walker and Jean-Luc Bannalec.

Praise for Death on the Pont Noir

“This is certainly not gastronomic cosy territory. Magson provides solid police work, great characterisation and pacy plotting. Rocco is on fine form here, and I hope he will continue in this vein for a long time to come.” —Reviewing the Evidence
