The Resurrection of Frédéric Debreu

Ted had never wanted a quiet retirement. And it’s been forty years since he last heard from his brother.

Those dispatches from the French countryside - tales of colourful exploits, wine and women – had tailed off, and now all that Ted has of him are fond memories… and a magical collection of recordings by the equally-elusive master of chanson, Frederic Debreu.

So, what could be a better project for a genial old boozer than a spot of amateur detective work in the sunshine? Welcomed with open arms by the villagers of pretty Mailliot le Bois, Ted sets out on his quest – only to find that he’s been earmarked as a solution to the townsfolk’s own peculiar problems. And with a barrel-load of well-intentioned deceit building up around him, Ted finds that his eagerness to do the right thing isn’t necessarily helpful when you have dilemmas closer to home…

The Resurrection of Frederic Debreu is set in an irresistible world of likeable rogues, charming landscapes and effervescent music. Funny, feelgood and bitter-sweet, Debreu is the perfect tonic for our difficult age.
