Enzo, our sleuth, an ex-pat Scotsman living and teaching in France, has wagered that he could solve a cold case crime. The police have been trying for the last ten years to solve this mystery and are none too impressed with Enzo’s discovery. There is a lot by way of coincidence, with things being stretched too far at times, yet you are pulled in. There is none of the flashbacks that made up a good part of the Lewis books but there was still the rich descriptions of the country and history that seems to be Peter May's trademark. When DNA confirms the skull is Gaillard’s, Enzo examines the items accompanying it for clues to the whereabouts of the rest of the body.With buried body parts, cryptic clues and a chase around the French countryside, the book is a slightly odd mix of police procedural and Dan Brown-style conspiracy thriller. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation. The stained glass rises all around, its colours turned to black by the dead light of the nearly full moon. They could see distant twinkling pockets of streetlights, a church floodlit on the far horizon, the river Cère a thin, meandering band of silver far below. Former forensics expert Enzo Macleod is determined to get to the bottom of a series of unsolved murders.

Unfortunately it appears as though I’m working on a ‘read a Peter May book or series every twelve months’ schedule, but it is better late than never. For example, primo forensic dude has baggage, a daughter he raised and an estranged daughter from a previous marriage.

I read Extraordinary People via a combination of the Quercus / River Run Books 2016 paperback edition and the 2012 Blackstone audiobook edition narrated by Simon Vance.

Childeric was the son of King Merovee of the Franks, the first of the lineage, and supposedly a direct descendent of Mary Magdalene. I was surprised to learn that it was published in only 2006, as in some respects it reads more like a book set in the 1980s. There are six books in the series, and I have the second one, The Critic, nestled on my shelves, ready to be plucked up whenever I feel like joining Enzo for another investigation.The readers of Extraordinary People will continue to follow the twist and turns in Professor Enzo Macleod investigation and would be surprised with the ending of this book. The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened.

His efforts do not enamor him with the Parisian police, and soon, even the government, embarrassed by this foreigner’s success, is warning him from taking his investigation further.

On top of all that, he has the two daughters, one who is vying for his attention and the other who wants him to drop dead. The plot is undeniably cleverly-constructed, and although I didn’t make any serious attempt to follow the clues or check any of the workings out, it had a reasonable ring of authenticity.
