Down in the norman underground

How and why was Maud Beuge killed? The beautiful and well respected scientist was safely locked in her laboratory, high in an ancient dovecote, adjoining her Normandy manorhouse, when she was brutally murdered .

A great loss for the scientific community of eternal youth cosmetics, indeed.

In the mean time Le Havre’s criminal police department is on the look-out for its famous superintendent, Georges Faidherbe, who was lost at sea during his last investigation. Will Faidherbe come back in time to solve the case, with his morose successor, Nizar Khencheli, bogged down in women’s corpses and Normandy’s mad cows?

With this fourth novel taking place in the heart and depths of the Norman countryside, Robert Vincent's quartet is now complete, based on the four classic elements:
- Fire with "Clou d'éclat à Etretat" (Nailed down in Etretat),

        - Water with "Yport épique" (Yportcupine),

       - Air with "Un Havre de paix éternelle"(Normandy shooter),

       - and now Earth with "Les Dames mortes"( Dames’ dead souls).

Les Dames mortes is Robert Vincent's most thrilling novel yet.

A compelling story, this extraordinary detective novel will leave you guessing to the very end.
