«L'Assassinat du Père Noël» is the mystery novel by Pierre Véry, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (176 pages, in French).
In Mortefont, the sexton Blaise Kappel searches the castle's underground passages and the abbey ruins for the relic of Saint Nicholas that disappeared during the Revolution. But he is not the only one: the diamonds guarded by Abbot Fuchs are stolen and Santa Claus is murdered. What mystery does the quiet town hide?
The work was originally published in 1934; this edition belongs to Gallimard's Folio Junior collection and includes illustrations by Nicolas Wintz.
Aimed at a young audience, it combines a classic mystery with the Christmas atmosphere of a French village.
Pierre Véry was a French novelist and screenwriter.
