Death on the Riviera
Death on the Riviera is a 1952 detective novel by the British writer John Bude. It was part of a series featuring Superintendent Meredith of Scotland Yard. While Bude set many of his earlier novels in regional England, after the Second World War they made increasing use of more exotic, Continental settings. In 2016 it was reissued by the British Library Publishing as part of a group of republished crime novels from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. Synopsis
On the trail of a gang of counterfeiters headed by London criminal Chalky Cabot, Meredith heads down to the French Riviera after a tip-off from the local police. Joining forces with a local Inspector, they investigate along the coastline until their attention is drawn to the Villa Paloma owned by an eccentrical Englishwoman. Matters are complicated further when a dead body is discovered. References
