«Le commissaire dans la truffière» is the crime novel by Pierre Magnan, published by Fayard in paperback (302 pages, in French).
Commissioner Laviolette arrives in Banon, in the Alps of Haute-Provence, to try a truffle omelette and instead comes across several corpses. The investigation leads him to an old Protestant grave and makes him share credit with a sow named Roseline; the solution, as usual, only comes to him by chance after a series of failures.
Originally published in 1978, it is the second instalment in the Commissioner Laviolette series. Pierre Magnan won the Quai des Orfèvres Prize in 1978 and the work received the Martin Beck Award in 1983.
For readers of classic crime fiction and those interested in rural mysteries set in the French Provence.
