Blood on the harbor
A murdered admiral. A city built on secrets. A cop who doesn't know when to quit.
Toulon, the French Riviera. In a sweltering backstreet they call "Little Chicago," Admiral Henri de Perrier is found dead in a squalid apartment. His dress whites are immaculate. What's been done to his body is not. On his chest lies a single copper key.
Lieutenant Laurent Gervasoni grew up in these streets. He knows every shadow, every rat, every unspoken rule. But this killing is unlike anything he's seen. Forced to work with Capitaine Lo c Scouarnec-a stiff, incorruptible gendarme from Brittany-Gervasoni begins pulling at threads no one wants touched.
Why would a high-ranking naval officer end up dead in a flophouse? What does the copper key open? And why are people in Paris suddenly so interested in a murder in Toulon?
As the investigation deepens, Gervasoni and Scouarnec stumble into a world where drug money, political power, and military secrets converge. Everyone they question seems to vanish or turn up dead. Someone is watching their every move. Someone who will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.
The heat is rising. The mistral is coming. And two men who trust nothing but their instincts are about to discover that in Toulon, the sea keeps every secret-until it doesn't.
What lies beneath the harbor?
Blood on the Harbor is a hardboiled Mediterranean noir thriller, perfect for readers who love atmospheric crime fiction, complex characters, and a setting as dark and beautiful as the French Riviera itself.
