Lantern Pass

"A darkly immersive mystery set in a small town in the Swiss Alps, where one family calls all the shots. But the arrival of a stubborn pair of detectives threatens to upend their plans-especially when nature itself begins to awaken The award-winning duo of Serge Lehman and Frederik Peeters returns with a gritty detective story set in the Swiss Alps, surrounded by snow . . . and a deluge of frogs. It's winter when Detective Franck Sangaré arrives with his partner, Madame Dombre, in Saint-Elme, a little mountain town known for its spring water. They are after a well-to-do runaway who disappeared three months before-an apparently simple mission.

Fortunately, a few of the townsfolk are ready to resist, and they will get some help from an unlikely source: nature itself, where strange forces are at play . . "--
