Reviews
" The Mystery of Henri Pick is so ridiculously French that if it started smoking Gitanes while you read it, you wouldn't be entirely surprised." -- The Sunday Times Culture magazine "This book is light, funny and erudite: a delight." -- The Guardian "A charming literary caper... A playfully droll satire of the French publishing scene and a completely delightful jeu d'esprit." -- The Daily Mail "Written with humour, wit and intelligence, it's set in a world of books and publishing. I really enjoyed it." -- TripFiction " The Mystery of Henri Pick manages the great gap between levity and profundity, between humour and seriousness. A beautiful farce." -- Le Figaro Littéraire, "Written with humour, wit and intelligence, it's set in a world of books and publishing. I really enjoyed it." -- TripFiction " The Mystery of Henri Pick manages the great gap between levity and profundity, between humour and seriousness. A beautiful farce." -- Le Figaro Littéraire

Synopsis
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., The delightful first title in a new series - a fast-paced comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books., The delightful first title in a new series - a fast-paced comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books.
