La petite roque by Guy de Maupassant
"La petite roque" by Guy de Maupassant is a short story published in 1885. When a postman discovers the naked body of a young girl by a river in a French village, an investigation begins into her rape and murder. Three suspects emerge, but no arrests follow due to lack of evidence. The story exposes the incompetence of provincial judicial and police systems as the case grows cold and the truth remains
buried—until guilt begins to haunt someone in unexpected ways. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
