In "In the Shadows of Paris," the fifth installment in this c'est
magnifique Victor Legris series by Claude Izner, a murderer is at
large in belle-epoque Paris. In the turbulent Parisian summer of
1893, Victor Legris has vowed to his fiancee to give up the
dangerous hobby of amateur sleuthing to concentrate on selling
books.
But a killer is at large, leaving mysterious references to a
leopard in his notes, and intent on revenge for events that took
place many years before during the Commune. When a bookbinder
friend of Victor's dies in a house fire that does not seem to be
accidental, the young bookseller feels impelled to resume his
detective work and uncover the identity of the Batignolles
predator. Alongside his trusty assistant Jojo, Victor embarks on a
new investigation in the bourgeois quarters of Paris, where
scoundrels abound and streethawkers call out their wares among
market stalls, under the bloody shadow of the Commune.
