AN IMMORTAL FOUND DEAD
AN ANCIENT LEGACY AT RISK

In the hallowed city of Tours, the death of a sixteen-year-old dressed as an 'Immortal Knight' appears to be a tragic overdose. Juge d'instruction Matthieu Lombard is called in to investigate.

When, weeks later, a provocative author is found brutally murdered, Lombard suspects the two deaths are connected by a sinister, coercive force. As he digs deeper, the case begins to challenge his loyalties and unearth disturbing echoes from his own past. What started as apparent roleplay turns into something far darker — and far deadlier.

The third book in the gripping crime series from the The Times-bestselling author.

This is the 3rd title in Ian Moore’s Loire Valley Mystery series, read so eloquently by John Sackville.

In every title in this series so far I have been unable to work out ‘whodunit’ and this was no exception! A great read, full of atmosphere, intrigue, murder and mystery.

Looking forward to hearing even more of Juge Lombard’s cases and his personal life in Tour.

I love listening to John Sackville narrating the series on audible too - he is Juge Lombard for me!

The series just keeps getting better!
