Synopsis
In the stifling heat of a Parisian July, the sky bleeds red over Notre-Dame, whispering of a darkness yet to fall. Through the Wall is a brilliantly woven tapestry of murder, mistaken identity, and breathtaking deduction that will keep you guessing until the final footprint is matched.Legendary French detective Paul Coquenil—the man who can read a crime scene like a printed page—is days away from leaving Paris forever. But a bizarre, prophetic encounter with a young girl selling candles in the cathedral changes everything. Guided by an unshakeable intuition, Coquenil plunges headfirst into the most perplexing puzzle of his career: a man shot dead in a private room at the ultra-luxurious Ansonia restaurant. The victim? A beloved local hero. The prime suspect? An American expatriate whose only alibi is a secret he absolutely refuses to tell.Monica Downey weaves a scintillating web of tension where high-society glamour clashes with the grim reality of cold-blooded murder. Watch a master sleuth outwit a ruthless, hidden rival as he uncovers clues that the rest of the world walks blindly over.Rich in atmosphere, relentless in pace, and brimming with the unforgettable charm of Belle Époque Paris, this is a classic locked-room mystery that redefines the genre.
