Deep in the Burgundy countryside, a murder case is perplexing Inspector Pel. The body was found in the salon, an elegant room with a grand piano and a Louis XIV escritoire. The shutters were still closed and the dead end of a record of Rigoletto was still turning.

There are some obvious suspects, yet the clothes of none of them show any signs of blood. And what were the tensions that must have torn at this family? It's only when a second murder takes place that the method of the first becomes startlingly clear.

Moody, sharp-tongued and worrying constantly about his health, Inspector Evariste Clovis Desire Pel ensures that no case goes unsolved, in these mordantly witty French mysteries.
