In "The Assassin in the Marais," the fourth title in the
bestselling Victor Legris mystery series by Claude Izner, Victor
Legris finds a new case to investigate when his business partner's
apartment is burgled.
"The clock of the Eglise Trinite had just struck eight o'clock
in the morning when, without warning, an ear-splitting explosion
ripped through the district. A building on rue de Clichy rocked on
its foundations, and within seconds its staircase had collapsed
from top to bottom and its windows had shattered."
"His body vibrated with the shock of the blast and he thought
only: Apocalypse. The street began to dance before his eyes. The
dust pricked his nostrils, but what invaded him was something other
than its bitter odour, something that seemed to emerge as a
long-suppressed memory of a past experience. It was the echo of
what had happened long ago. A sign."
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.
