«Un sombre été à Chaluzac» is the mystery novel by Alain Gandy, published by Presses de la Cité in paperback (252 pages, in French).
In 1944, the discovery of a Resistance leader's body in a French village triggers an investigation. Gendarme Combes interrogates those who had motives against the dead man: the family of the looted château, peasants whose daughter suffered his harassment, and a wronged industrialist. Three disappearances complicate the inquiry until the truth comes to light.
Winner of the Gendarmerie Prize in 1997. The action takes place in the Rouergue, with locations such as Villefranche-de-Rouergue and the Château de Chaluzac.
A read for fans of mystery novels with a historical backdrop, especially those set in rural France during the Second World War.
