Mysterious myths, Provençal delicacies, and a summer festival that ends with a murder. In June, the idyllic Sainte-Valérie in Provence celebrates the beginning of summer with a traditional festival. Late into the night, people eat and dance by the firelight, until amidst the joyful hustle and bustle, a journalist is stabbed. He had been investigating the death of a well-known writer, and his research seemed to disprove the theory of suicide.
