Un Roi Sans Divertissement by Jean Giono
In a remote mountain community a provincial gendarme investigates a string of disappearances and, as the case drags on, his official duty becomes a private obsession that forces him into long solitary patrols, eerie encounters and increasingly dark introspection; the novel uses the murder inquiry as a vehicle for a haunting meditation on boredom, the lure of violence, the thin line between law and impulse, and the unsettling discovery of what lurks within ordinary human hearts.
