Book description
In 1889 at the brand new Eiffel Tower, a woman collapses and dies
on this great Paris landmark. Can a bee-sting really be the cause? Or
is there a more sinister explanation?Enter young bookseller Victor
Legris, present on the Tower at the time, he is determined to find out
what actually happened. In this dazzling evocation of late-nineteenth
century Paris, we follow Victor as his investigation takes him all
over the city. But what will he do when the deaths begin to multiply
and he is caught in a race against time.
Claude Izner is the pen-name of two sisters, Liliane Korb and
Laurence Lefevre. Both booksellers on the banks of the River Seine, they
are experts on nineteenth-century Paris.
