The King Arthur Case

It was only supposed to be an interview for a friend in the Paris police department. Commissaire Georges Dupin and his small team, two inspectors and his invaluable assistant, were going to make an overnight office trip to Brittany’s Paimpont village, and Dupin was to interview Fabian Cadiou, a leading Arthurian expert. But Dupin finds Cadiou fatally shot. When he calls his friend in Paris, he’s informed the minister of the interior has a special interest in the matter, and Dupin is to be the special investigator in charge of the case. Before he can even organize his team, another expert on King Arthur is found murdered. In the span of 24 hours, three people are killed. The victims are all Arthurian experts attending a conference. Then, Dupin’s two inspectors disappear. While the lack of assistance and answers from the scholars drives Dupin mad, he’s determined to discover if it’s a quest for fame or ego or money that is driving the murderer.
