Death on the Riviera is a 1952 detective novel by the British writer John Bude.[1] [2] It was part of a series featuring Superintendent Meredith of Scotland Yard. While Bude set many of his earlier novels in regional England, after the Second World War they made increasing use of more exotic, Continental settings. In 2016 it was reissued by the British Library Publishing as part of a group of republished crime novels from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. The character of Inspector Blampignon of the Sûreté returned in the 1956 novel A Telegram from Le Touquet.
