The fourth case for amateur investigator and small-time-crook Perez
Recklessly, couch potato Perez has promised his stepdaughter that he will climb with her to the top of the Canigou near Perpignan in late June, when a midsummer bonfire and fabulous party are held at the summit. While on a preparatory walk for the upcoming mountain excursion, he finds the lifeless body of a young woman who had been missing for six years. She awakens in the hospital, but doesn’t speak. When another girl is found near Montpellier, Perez doesn’t think it’s a coincidence. Is it possible that they have something to do with the ominous religious community that is trying to recruit disciples in tranquil Banyuls-sur-Mer? Perez is soon forced to recognize that this case is big, much too big for an amateur detective like him. But he wouldn’t be Perez if this kept him from investigating!
