Beskrivning
'Terrific atmosphere... Full of drama' Susan Hill
In the dead of night at the labyrinthine Père-Lachaise cemetery, a wealthy widow vanishes without a trace. Her terrified maid can only think of one person to turn to: Madame's former lover, and owner of Paris's Elzévir Bookshop, Victor Legris.
Then both maid and mistress are found dead, and Victor is thrust into a perilous story of stolen art, occult practices and fiendish disguises. As his team of booksellers risk their lives to solve the case, the conspiracy they uncover threatens to ensnare them all.

Recensioner i media
Our hero is Victor Legris, a bibliophile and amateur sleuth who has neither twinkly eyes nor a neat moustache, but can at least boast a picturesque pair of buttocks... There follows a satisfyingly convoluted yarn involving painted Madonnas, fiendish disguises and skulduggery in deepest Colombia
