THE novel Too Far From Antibes by Bede Scott is set in 1951 with protagonist Jean-Luc Guéry arriving in Indochina to investigate the murder of his brother, Olivier, whose body was found floating in a tributary of the Saigon River.
As an avid reader of detective fiction, Guéry is well aware of how such investigations should proceed, but it is not immediately clear that he is capable of putting this knowledge into practice.
