Description

"Paris is the city of light... and of shadows. In March 1831, Louis-Philippe, the new sovereign of France, is torn between a liberal policy and an iron fist. There are changes at the top of the State that call into question the continuity of the Brigade des Mysteries Occultes, dedicated to the investigation of the allegedly supernatural. In this unfavorable situation, its director, Valentin Verne, is entrusted with a new and delicate case: to investigate the activities of a mysterious medium show more who uses spiritism and extraordinary powers to resurrect the dead. Unusual events, dialogues with the afterlife and inexplicable apparitions will challenge the rational mind of Inspector Verne. And, as if that were not enough, he must also face an even more formidable adversary: the Vicar, the odious criminal he has been pursuing since he joined the police force, has returned to the streets of Paris leaving a trail of corpses in his wake. From the Parisian underworld to the salons of high society and from Vidocq's spies to the disturbing mysteries of spiritualism, Eric Fouassier presents us with a gripping and addictive novel of intrigue."-- show less
