Code 612. Who Killed the Little Prince?

The most unusual novel by the master of French detective fiction. Michel Bussi attempts to investigate the death of a person who became a symbol of France - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and he does this in his familiar playful manner. Nevan, who received his flight certificate fifteen years ago and has not flown since, and intern detective Andi receive an unexpected offer: to investigate the mysterious death of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which occurred several decades ago. At the same time, they want to delve into another equally mysterious death - that of the hero of Saint-Exupéry's famous fairy tale. In search of answers to the questions of how the writer died and how the Little Prince died (and whether they both really died?), Nevan and Andi set out on a journey to meet six characters who are members of the "Club 612" - almost like the Little Prince, except instead of six asteroids, they will visit six islands, - and each of the six will share their version with them, and each version will be convincing in its own way, while the resolution will, of course, be completely unexpected. The great fairy tale "The Little Prince" celebrates its 80th anniversary this year since its first French publication. It is the most translated literary work in the world, and to date, the philosophical story of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry has been translated into 318 languages. In his new book, Michel Bussi explores the hypotheses surrounding the death of the great French writer, searching for motives and those who may be guilty of his death. Since his teenage years, Bussi has been captivated by the mystery of Saint-Exupéry and his brilliant fairy tale, always believing that the death of the author is connected to the death of the Little Prince. Michel Bussi donated his entire fee from this book to the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Foundation, which funds educational and environmental projects. The philosophical-literary detective "Code 612" is primarily a tribute to the love for "The Little Prince" and its creator; the book offers everyone another chance to immerse themselves in the wonderful fairy tale and try to find the hidden message that Antoine de Saint-Exupéry left before he perished in the sky over the Mediterranean Sea.
