'Terrific atmosphere... Full of drama' Susan Hill

In the dead of night at the labyrinthine Père-Lachaise cemetery, a wealthy widow vanishes without a trace. Her terrified maid can only think of one person to turn to: Madame's former lover, and owner of Paris's Elzévir Bookshop, Victor Legris.

Then both maid and mistress are found dead, and Victor is thrust into a perilous story of stolen art, occult practices and fiendish disguises. As his team of booksellers risk their lives to solve the case, the conspiracy they uncover threatens to ensnare them all.
