The Detection Club

In 1930s England, the best mystery writers of the era come together to form the Detection Club. G. K. Chesterton, Agatha Christie, John Dickson Carr and others gather to eat, drink, and challenge one another. They are in for a bigger test, however, when eccentric billionaire Roderick Ghyll invites them all to his mansion on a private island off the coast of Cornwall, promising to enchant them with his latest creation: a robot that can predict the culprit in their novels. But when someone ends up murdered, who will lead the investigation? Jean Harambat is back, following the success of "Operation Copperhead," with a hilarious, satirical take on the classic crime novel.

Operation Copperhead

London, 1943. The actors David Niven, then a colonel in the British Army, and Peter Ustinov, his batman, take part in a diversion operation known as Operation Copperhead, with the aim of feeding misinformation to the Germans. The plan was to recruit a look-alike — Clifton James — who could impersonate General Montgomery, and thus throw the enemy off the scent of the real location chosen for the Normandy landings. An extraordinary tale based on real events, with echoes of Ernst Lubitsch’s 1942 comedy “To Be or Not To Be.” Script by Jean Harambat - Art by Jean Harambat.
