Not only does he own like the others mussel and oyster beds he also carries on a flourishing trade with his two trucks. He dominates his fellow villagers as much by his money as by his size. And behind him looms his faithful watchdog Doudou a deaf-mute ready to be killed--and to kill-for him. Lecoin is married to a woman above his station whom he has made into a capable assistant. Together they devot their lives to work and profit. Then one day Lecoin's wife hires a servant girl an orphan who has been misused by her previous employer. The prosperous and peaceful routine of Lecoin's life is shattered by a ground swell of emotion and its chain of consequences."--Front jacket flap Harcourt Brace Jovanovich unknown books
