La Mort de Rainbow - Rainbow's End - Inspector George Felse, Bk 13 - French Edition Author:Ellis Peters, Bernard Cucchi (Translator) Marchand d’art et nouveau riche aussi avide de reconnaissance sociale que dépourvu de scrupules, Arthur Rainbow fait l’unanimité contre lui dès qu’il s’installe dans la tranquille vallée du Middlehope. " Il doit partir " décrète le tout jeune Bossie, génie en herb... more »e et soliste du choeur de l’église de Saint-Eata, traduisant le sentiment général qui agite la petite communauté. Aussi quand on retrouve le corps sans vie de Rainbow au pied du clocher de l’église, personne se semble s’en étonner ou le regretter. Pour sa toute dernière enquête, George Felse, récemment promu chef du C.I. D., est particulièrement perplexe, car si les suspects sont légion, l’animosité envers le personnage ne saurait tout expliquer. Et voilà qu’un soir, Bossie est victime d’un mystérieux chauffard...
The sleepy village of Middlehope is suddenly jerked into life by nouveau riche antiques magnate Arthur Rainbow. In a whirlwind of activity he extravagantly refurbishes the Manor House, joins the Golf Club, Angling Society and Arts Council - and, in a ruthless coup, dislodges the old church organist to take over the position himself.
But for all his reforming zeal, the Middlehope community rejects him. 'He won't do, you know', is the villagers' judgment, an opinion spearheaded by Miss de la Pole, the local aristocrat. And when Rainbow's crushed body is found in the graveyard of St Eata's church, there is very little surprise or sorrow - but much speculations to who the murderer could be.
After all, there are so many candidates - from his young, beautiful, flirtations wife to the usurped organist and his mutinous choir. It falls upon Superintendent George Felse, newly promoted head of the Midshire CID, to solve this most perplexing murder.« less
