«Un doux parfum de mort» is the crime novel by Guillermo Arriaga, published by Editions Phébus in paperback (166 pages, in French).
In Loma Grande, a village in Mexico, the appearance of Adela's corpse, a young murdered woman, turns Ramón, the boy who finds her, into a suspect. Unable to deny the rumor, Ramón ends up assuming the role of avenger while the village becomes steeped in the sweet smell of death.
The French edition, translated by François Gaudry, corresponds to the original novel «Un dulce olor a muerte» (1994), published on 7 October 2005 in the Libretto collection.
