Death In The Vines: A Verlaque And Bonnet Provençal Mystery (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Fabrice yelled into the phone. “I never thought I’d say that about you, Antoine, but you’re a total ass! Christophe just called me; he said that the prosecutor was raking him over the coals.” “I’m sorry, Fabrice,” Verlaque said, “but Christophe’s aunt was murdered on Friday night, and he was disinherited a few days prior to that.” “He was with us Friday night, or don’t you remember?” “He would have had time to go to Rognes,” Verlaque answered. “Before the party.” “And how did he know he was disinherited?” Fabrice asked. “Huh? Huh? Answer me that!” “Mme d’Arras called Christophe’s mother, her sister Natalie, and told her. M. d’Arras confirmed that today.” Fabrice stayed silent for a few seconds. “It’s all very circumstantial. And you arrest him for that?” “I didn’t arrest him, Fabrice,” Verlaque replied. “I only called him in for questioning. He’s at home now.” “He must feel like shit. Way to go.” Verlaque didn’t tell Fabrice that, while he was questioning Christophe, Officers Flamant and Schoelcher were out in the parking lot, taking samples of mud from the tires of Chazeau’s new Porsche SUV.
