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.
Philippe Bouin was born in 1949 in Belgium to French parents and now lives in Burgundy. He is the author of numerous Detective novels, including the famous Investigations of Sister Blandine. His lively style and regional roots make him a figure of the contemporary French crime novel.
