Daniel Jacquot is the protagonist of Martin O’Brien’s series of crime novels set in Provence, France. A Chief Inspector of the Police Judiciaire and former rugby player, Jacquot uses his local knowledge and personal connections to solve cases across the south of France. The books make heavy use of the Provencal setting, from the docks of Marseille to the quieter villages of the interior.
The Daniel Jacquot series spans ten novels published between 2005 and 2021. Each book is built around a standalone investigation, though Jacquot’s character and personal life develop across the series. Readers who enjoy European crime fiction with a strong sense of place will find Jacquot’s Provence a good fit.
