Sabine — Nicolas Freeling

Sabine Arthur is a rich widow. She is seventy-three. She has been a good poet. And she has come to the office of the Police Judiciare for help. She is being persecuted, she claims, and her life has been threatened -- perhaps by her son, perhaps by his wife. Henri Castang is sent to Soulay, the historic walled town where she lives, to investigate what many believe to be no more than the fantasies of a crazy old woman -- until the murder.
