Paris, Spring 1892. Intrepid bookseller Victor Legris stumbles upon a new case
to investigate when his business partner Kenji Mori’s apartment is burgled.
Curiously, the only item stolen is a decorative goblet of little value. But on
learning that two people who were connected to the goblet have been murdered,
Victor becomes convinced of its secret significance. He launches himself into
the investigation, which takes him through the underbelly of Paris, in hot
pursuit of the goblet as it is thrown in the garbage, picked up by a rag
collector, and resold by several antique merchants, all the while leaving more
dead bodies in its wake. How quickly can Victor recover the goblet;and end the
killing spree, in a city beset with terrorist activity by anarchists? Equal
parts action, character, and atmosphere. This is Victor's most challenging
case yet.
