On a quiet forest walk, Investigator Jacques Forêt encounters a sinister scene. Convinced there is evidence of malicious intent, he treats his discovery as a crime scene. But intent for what? Without a body, how can he be sure that a crime has been – or is about to be – committed? Without a body, how can Jacques be sure that it’s murder, and not suicide? Without a body, how can the perpetrator be found? A baffling case that tests Jacques to his limits. Mercœur is the fifth instalment in the bestselling Jacques Forêt Mystery series.
