Summary
Paris 1890. Lady's maid Denise le Louarn fears the worst when her mistress, Odette de Valois, vanishes from the Père-Lachaise cemetery during a visit to her husband's grave. All alone in the great metropolis, Denise knows just one person she can go to for help: Odette's former lover, Victor Legris.
When the frightened girl turns up at his bookshop and tells him her story, Victor feels there must be a simple explanation for her disappearance. But as he begins to look into the matter, it soon becomes clear that something sinister lies behind events at the Père-Lachaise cemetery.

Reviews
Our hero is Victor Legris, a bibliophile and amateur sleuth who has neither twinkly eyes nor a neat moustache, but can at least boast a picturesque pair of buttocks... There follows a satisfyingly convoluted yarn involving painted Madonnas, fiendish disguises and skulduggery in deepest Colombia (Stephanie Cross)
Claude Izner - in reality, historian sisters Liliane Korb and Laurence Lefèvre - brilliantly evokes 1890s Paris, a smoky, sinister world full of predatory mediums and a ghoulish public, in a cracking, highly satisfying yarn. (Cathi Unsworth)
A charming journey through the life and intellectual times of an era
