Cabaret Biarritz

Georges Miet earns his keep writing pulp for a French publisher, until he is asked for something weightier: a book about the death that rocked Biarritz in the high season of 1925, when a young woman's body turned up tied up on the harbour wall after a storm. Fifteen years on, he gathers the memories of around thirty witnesses from every walk of life. Their accounts reveal an investigation the authorities preferred to bury, and three amateurs, a reporter, a photographer and a captivating woman, who refused to let it go.
