Jacquot and the Waterman

Set in the sunlit port of Marseilles, the first novel in the Jacquot series follows Chief Inspector Daniel Jacquot's investigation into a series of disturbing killings- beautiful female victims found battered and submerged in water. Ex-French National Rugby Squad player Jacquot is a lover of good food, wine and the blues. But this easy going charm hides his razor sharp eye for detail. So after his girlfriend leaves him, the French sleuth is free to plunge himself whole-heartedly into the investigation - one that is to lead him into much darker and murkier waters than he could have imagined.
