Five short crime stories for learning French that pack a punch:

A lighthouse keeper, all alone in his tower in the middle of the sea, makes morbid discoveries; an inconspicuous project manager from a large Parisian architecture firm is found dead; two climbers get caught up in a deadly brawl; a relic shrine, stolen from a church, causes a fatal traffic accident; a surfer dies under strange circumstances on the island of La Réunion.
