Used Book – Blood and Orri, Christian Di Scipio

But where does this madness come from that grips a small village lost deep in the Garrotxes? Why is the usually quiet Conflent so agitated after the discovery of a murder on the banks of the Têt? What improbable scenario unfolded at the threshold of an orri, one of those dry-stone constructions where shepherds once sheltered in the mountains? Is this a bloody Catalan version of Clochemerle? And these unsettling Russians, what role do they play in this tragicomedy?

This green and humorous detective novel takes us behind the scenes of the press and reveals some high-level police secrets. And, a few pages from the end, when you think you've understood everything, you realize that the story goes far beyond what you had imagined...
