Visiting while on holiday, young editor Delphine Despero is thrilled to discover a novel so powerful that she feels compelled to bring it back to Paris to publish it. The book is a sensation, prompting fevered interest in the identity of its author - apparently one Henri Pick, a now-deceased pizza chef from Crozon. Sceptics cry that the whole thing is a hoax: how could this man have written such a masterpiece? An obstinate journalist, Jean-Michel Rouche, heads to Brittany to investigate. By turns farcical and moving, The Mystery of Henri Pick is a fast-paced comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books - and of the authors who write them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foenkinos, David, Taylor, Sam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42537997533368,"sku":"9781782275824","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781782275824.jpg?v=1734712053","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781782275824","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
