Pel is Provoked (ebook)

An Inspector Pel Mystery

Juliet Hebden

eBook:

£3.99

Chief Inspector Pel is called in to investigate when a nurse and her dialysis patient are found in the local surgery with horrific gunshot wounds. Nobody in the area noticed anything suspicious. Forensic evidence suggests that the pair were having an affair, but is this simply a crime passionel?

Adding to the bafflement of Pel’s team are the murders of two young girls, both bearing a strange set of teeth marks on their necks. Could the local suspicion about vampires be true?

Moody, sharp-tongued and worrying constantly about his health, Inspector Pel ensures that no case goes unsolved, in these mordantly witty French mysteries.
