Description

A murder and a missing body interrupt a getaway in the south of France...

Waldo and Averil Keelagher's holiday is ruined when Waldo's unbearable uncle joins them in the south of France.

Not long after their arrival on the Riviera, however, they're relieved of their unwelcome guest when Waldo finds Uncle George dead in the wasteland of the Esterel.

Panicking, the couple pack the body into the back of their car and rush to the nearest police station in Cannes.

Things take a turn for the peculiar when, after reporting the crime, the couple return to the car to find it has been stolen - with George's body still inside.

Superintendent Littlejohn, who happens to be on holiday nearby, soon finds himself caught up in one of his most complicated and unorthodox cases yet...

Death in the Wasteland is the twentieth title in Agora's Inspector Littlejohn Mysteries.
