The delightful first title in a new series - a fast-paced comic mystery enriched by a deep love of books.
The first title in a set of collaborative releases between Pushkin Press and Channel 4's "Walter Presents". A rejected manuscript is found by young editor Delphine, who takes it back to Paris to publish. Henri Pick's book becomes a sensation, and journalist Jean-Michel heads to Brittany to see if the rumours of the author's simple life were true.
"A delight with a novel premise."

The Mystery of Henri Pick is so ridiculously French that if it started smoking Gitanes while you read it, you wouldn’t be entirely surprised." —
The Sunday Times Culture magazine"This book is light, funny and erudite: a delight."
— The Guardian"A charming literary caper... A playfully droll satire of the French publishing scene and a completely delightful jeu d’esprit."
— The Daily Mail"Written with humour, wit and intelligence, it's set in a world of books and publishing. I really enjoyed it." —
TripFiction"
The Mystery of Henri Pick manages the great gap between levity and profundity, between humour and seriousness. A beautiful farce."
— Le Figaro Littéraire
