This fast-moving story takes the reader rapidly along dark paths of
sinister events in Le Sentier, the heart of Paris's rag trade. One
spring morning a Thai girl is found dead in a fashion workshop.
Another unlucky prostitute, or something more sinister? A club is
uncovered where people secretly get filmed having sex - including
some very distinguished men. This is the seedy underworld of Paris
- the traffic in heroin, illegal immigrants without work permits,
police officers' secret lives. A Turkish man - a police informer
and leader of exploited immigrants rag-trader workers - is also
Police Inspector Danquin's lover. This is a gripping morality tale
of twentieth-century Paris. Dominique Manotti teaches
nineteenth-century Economic History. "Rough Trade", her first
novel, was awarded the top prize for the best thriller of the year
by the French Crime Writers Association.
