[Victor Legris 04] • Le Secret Des Enfants Rouges

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.
