Synopsis
Set in the South of France, the first in the Jacquot series, JACQUOT AND THE WATERMAN, follows Chief Inspector Daniel Jacquot's investigation into a series of disturbing killings, where the female victims are always left submerged in water. Ex-French National Rugby Squad player Jacquot is a lover of blues, good food and wine, and disconsalate after his girlfriend leaves him, plunges himself into the investigation whole-heartedly. A wonderful book for the francophile, it is highly atmospheric, and full of warmth and wit.

From the Inside Flap
The Waterman is no ordinary killer, but then Daniel Jacquot is no ordinary detective. Daniel Jacquot always jokes that he joined the police force so he could earn a living and still play rugby. And play he did, for France, scoring the winning try in a Five Nations final against the English. Nearly twenty years later, Daniel Jacquot is still remembered for his mighty victory. But now he's a chief inspector, working homicide with the Marseilles judiciaire. Like playing rugby, tracking down killers is a game that Jacquot understands. And Marseilles just happens to be Jacquot's own home ground. It's here, in this city by the sea, that a shadowy, elusive killer steps onto the field of play--drugging, raping, and drowning three young women. With a new partner, a rising body count, and only a three-word tattoo to work with, Daniel Jacquot gradually closes in on the methodical murderer whom the press have christened "The Waterman." Highly atmospheric and intensely gripping, Jacquot and the Waterman introduces a stellar new writer to America's must-read mystery list.
From the Back Cover
Praise for Jacquot and the Waterman "O Brien's evocation of [Marseilles] is as masterly as Ian Rankin's depiction of Edinburgh."- The Daily Mail (UK) "Chief Inspector Daniel Jacquot of the Marseilles PD is a marvelous invention and deserves to be discovered quickly. The characters and plot are great, but the real hit is Marseilles. All that, and rugby, too."- The Globe and Mail (Canada) "Promising thriller debut of new French cop [Daniel Jacquot]."- Literary Review (UK) "Jacquot is an excellent character, no doubt set for a long and entertaining career."- Birmingham Post (UK)
