December 1942. Jean-Louis St-Cyr and Hermann Kohler have been dispatched to Provence to investigate a local murder. A woman lies dead on a hillside, an iron-tipped bolt through her heart. The Proventals are uncooperative, fearful of Nazi reprisals. Before the murder is solved, the inspectors will be drawn into a web of collusion as intricate and shifting as the patterns of a kaleidoscope.

The unlikely duo Detectives St-Cyr and Kohler are back in Paris after Madrigal, a strange and dangerous case in Avignon. But immediately they return, they are investigating a missing shipment of honey. The signals coming down from high are ominous - important interests are involved. And why honey? Because a beekeeper in Belleville has been murdered; and the new widow has connections she would rather not go into. Before long, the ramifications of this case stretch all the way to Switzerland, and to Stalingrad, graveyard to Hitler's war effort...

Beekeeper

ORION PAPERBACKS

St-Cyr and Kohler uncover a black market beekeeping conspiracy During winter, the bees of Paris huddle into spheres, sacrificing some of the drones to keep the queen warm. In the winter of 1943, as rationing limits access to luxury goods, those at the top of Parisian society think nothing of sacrificing the poor for the sake of the black market. The latest casualty is a beekeeper, murdered in his apiary after getting in the way of a smuggling operation. The next night, burglars rob his hives, taking several kilos of honey at the expense of 300,000 bees. As news filters in about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in the fight for Stalingrad, the massacre of the bees seems insignificant. But to inspectors Jean-Louis St-Cyr and Hermann Kohler, the dead bees point to a conspiracy that, if revealed, could send Paris into revolt.
