Synopsis

Paris: July 1890. Inspector Achille Lefebvre and his wife Adele are enjoying their stay at a seaside resortuntil a body found hanging from a bridge in a public park demands the Inspector's attention. Is it suicide or murder? A twisted trail of evidence draws Inspector Lefebvre into a shadowy underworld of international intrigue, espionage, and terrorism. Time is of the essence; pressure mounts on the Suret to get results. Achille's chief orders him to work with his former partner, Inspector Rousseau, now in charge of a special unit in the newly formed political brigade. But can Achille trust the detective who let him down in another case? Inspector Lefebvre uses innovative forensics and a network of police spies to uncover a secret alliance, a scheme involving the sale of a cutting-edge high explosive and an assassination plot that threatens to ignite a world war.

Goodreads review by Sally on May 29, 2018

This is a nice contrast to the Barker and Llewelyn mysteries since it's roughly the same period, 1890s Paris, rather than London. Achille Lefebvre hunts the killer of a man hanged post-mortem and while doing so, uncovers an international espionage plot. Russians, bombs, international intrigue: what'......more

Goodreads review by Jan on March 22, 2019

3.5 stars. Very educated type mystery, with politics, history, forensics, science in the mix. Sympathetic characters, well written. There is kind a cliff hanger with 2 key characters, so am looking forward to more in this series.......more
