About the novel: Murder in Beaujolais

While the Beaujolais region of France in the late '50s, early '60s, is an idyllic rural setting, the strange and horrific crime wave which takes place is a manifestation, some call, ungodly. At the center of these frightful events, there is a baby orphan, Jeanne, who comes of age in the convent des Ursulines. Torn between earth and heaven, she becomes an avenging angel, before surrendering to her destiny.
