Kosher sushi, kebabs, a second-hand bookshop and a bar: the 19th
arrondissement in Paris is a cosmopolitan district where
multicultural citizens live, love and worship alongside one
another. This peace is shattered when Ahmed Taroudant's melancholy
daydreams are interrupted by the blood dripping from his upstairs
neighbour's brutally mutilated corpse. The violent murder of Laura
Vignole, and the pork joint placed next to her, set imaginations
ablaze across the neighbourhood, and Ahmed finds himself the prime
suspect. But detectives Rachel Kupferstein and Jean Hamelot are not
short of other leads. What is the connection between a disbanded
hip-hop group and the fiery extremist preachers that jostle for
attention in the streets? And what is the mysterious blue pill that
is taking the district by storm? Karim Miske demonstrates a sharp
eye for character and an evocative sense of place, moving
seamlessly between the sensual streets of Paris and the synagogues
of New York to reveal the truth behind a horrifying crime.
