Canambooks
When someone is killed, people mourn. If the victim is arrogant and makes enemies with the majority of the people he comes in contact with, the list of suspects seems never-ending. Daniel Perrault, a Frenchman with a bit of hubris, moves to a small town and is found dead on the side of the road and it seems almost every resident could have their own motive for the murder.
