Nicolas Freeling was a British crime novelist renowned for his detective series featuring Van der Valk. The series was adapted into a television show that aired on ITV during the 1970s and 1980s.

In Nicolas Freeling's "Lake Isle," set in the French town of Soulay, Inspector Henri Castang investigates a brutal robbery, a drugged teenager, and a violent death. Castang suspects these incidents may be linked to recent events in Paris. To solve the case, he must navigate a complex web of small-town gossip and big-city crime. The inspector's challenge lies in unraveling the mysterious connections between these seemingly disparate events.
