The most unusual novel by the master French detective. Michel Bussy makes an attempt to investigate the death of a man who became a symbol of France - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and he does this in his usual playful form. Nevan, who received his flight certificate fifteen years ago and has never taken to the skies since then, and trainee detective Andi receive an unexpected offer: to investigate the mysterious death of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which happened several decades ago. And at the same time they want to understand another no less mysterious death - the hero of the famous fairy tale by Saint-Exupery. In search of an answer to the question of how the writer died and how the Little Prince died (and did they really both die?), Nevan and Andi hit the road to meet six characters, members of the "612 Club" - almost like the Little Prince, only 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, and the outcome, of course, will be completely unexpected. The great fairy tale “The Little Prince” celebrates its 80th anniversary this year anniversary since its first French edition. The most translated work of fiction in the world, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's philosophical story has been translated into 318 languages to date. In his new book, Michel Bussy examines hypotheses for the death of the great French writer, looking for motives and those who may be to blame for his death. Since adolescence, Bussy was fascinated by the mystery of Saint-Exupéry and his brilliant fairy tale; he was always sure that the death of the author was connected with the death of the Little Prince. Michel Bussy donated all his royalties from this book to the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Foundation, which funds educational and environmental projects. The philosophical and literary detective story “Code 612” is, first of all, a tribute of respect and love to “The Little Prince” and his creator, the book invites everyone to once again immerse themselves in a wonderful fairy tale and try to find in it the secret message that Antoine de Saint-Exupéry left before , how to die in the sky over the Mediterranean Sea.
