selling books. But a murderer is at large in Paris, intent on revenge
for events that took place many years before during the Commune. And
when a bookbinder friend of Victor's becomes the latest victim of the
mysterious Leopard, the young bookseller feels impelled to resume his
detective work and uncover the identity of the Batignolles predator.
