Used book – Malamorte, Antoine Albertini

Who murdered a female hiker on the ridge trail near Bastia, Corsica? Why did a man kill his wife and young daughter before attempting suicide? The investigation is entrusted to a police captain, a bit too fond of the bottle, who has lost all faith since the love of his life disappeared without a trace. But who said that cases in the Homicide Unit were ever simple? From Bastia to Ajaccio, from seedy bars to shantytowns, the lone and nameless cop will throw himself headlong into the pursuit of thugs, Legion deserters, and shady businessmen. He will also encounter his own past. Through an unflinching dive into an unknown, dark, and wind-battered Corsica, Malamorte paints a portrait of an island sold to the highest bidder, where blood calls for blood. "An impeccable double plot." Macha Séry, Le Monde des livres. "It's grimy and informative, chilling and sometimes funny, remarkably well-written." Grégoire Leménager, L’Obs.
