Vanderpuije: The Counterfeit Corpse

After a corpse appears and is identified, the man is found alive and well elsewhere. The French police find themselves investigating a baffling murder mystery . . . or is it something else?

Note

First published in 1956 with a well-known vanity publishing house. What starts out as an intriguing mystery turns into something very different. Honestly, it's so strange that I'm just going to offer it as a freebie. Take it as a very odd piece of genre literature. (Really could have used a strong editor.)
