Implacable Harvest (French Edition) By Philippe Bouin

Relentless grape harvest, signed Philippe Bouin, is a detective novel at the heart of the Burgundian vineyards, where winemaking traditions and old family grudges intertwine.

The story opens with the reading of the codicil ofEdmond Ruteboeuf, a missing winemaker, by Mr. Blanchon. The family members — winemakers from father to son — are gathered for this solemn moment. Each of the three children receives a blue envelope, to be opened on July 14, 2000. But the next day, nothing goes as planned: the custodians are murdered, and the letters mysteriously disappear.

That's when Sister Blandine, a deeply faithful but strong-willed nun, enters the scene. An enthusiast of good food, she travels around the region driving a Titine, his faithful car, and embarks on a colorful investigation. His encounter with Gontrand Cheuillade, iconoclastic journalist of the Progress, gives rise to a unexpected duo of investigators.

Between Viticultural mysteries, , Landscapes of Saône, , troubled genealogies and subtle humor, this novel is truly a local crime novel.
