The Mystery Of Henri Pick

The delightful first title in a new collaboration with channel 4’s Walter presents: a fast-paced comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books in the small town of crozon in Brittany, a library houses manuscripts that were rejected for publication: the faded dreams of aspiring writers. Visiting while on holiday, young editor Delphine despero is thrilled to discover a novel so powerful that she feels compelled to bring it back to Paris to publish it. The book is a sensation, prompting fevered interest in the identity of its author - apparently one Henri pick, a now-deceased pizza chef from crozon. Sceptics cry that the whole thing is a hoax: how could this man have written such a masterpiece? An obstinate journalist, jean-michel rouche, heads to Brittany to investigate. By turns farcical and moving, the mystery of Henri pick is a fast-paced comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books - and of the authors who write them.
