Drizzly days in Lanester
"Trainee detective constable Mary Lester has been sent to Brittany's great Southern seaport, Lorient.
A tramp drowns in the river Scorff, a supermarket manager vanishes into the air, juvenile delinquents go in for a bit of chainsaw-powered breaking and entering...
For detective constable Marc Amedeo, this is just uneventful daily routine. Peace and quiet rule in Lorient police station... or did so until Mary Lester starts knitting these apparently trivial incidents into a full blown multiple murder case!
Intrepid investigator Mary Lester is the heroine of a series of 65 best-selling novels by Jean Failler, who sets his mysteries in towns all over Brittany. In the last thirty years, he has sold 4 millions copies of the Mary Lester books, several of which have been dramatized on French TV. "Drizzly days in Lanester" was his second novel published in English, after "Mayhem in Saint-Malo."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jean Failler was born in Quimper where he has lived ever since. His childhood dreams were fed by the seafaring tales of his grandfather, a remarkable storyteller and professional fisherman who used to takes him aboard during the holidays.
For 20 years, Jean Failler worked as a full-time fish-monger but, somehow, he still managed to write 16 plays (5 staged) and several short stories, children's books and historical novels. After selling his fish-monger's shop, Jean Failler was at last able to fully devote himself to his passion and has graced us with 65 Mary Lester investigations where good humour and intrigue are our travelling companions throughout Brittany, all with that special tangy flavour of sailor-borne irony.
Anne Pietrasik was born in 1952 in London. A translator since 1989, she lives in Riec-sur-Bélon, Brittany.
