About this book
Paris, autumn 1830: the July Revolution is still fresh, the new monarchy is fragile, and science is colliding with a public fascination for the occult. Young police inspector Valentin Verne is transferred to the Sûreté and assigned a string of baffling deaths that could inflame political unrest. Intelligent, solitary, and trained in chemistry and medicine, Valentin follows evidence rather than superstition as he takes charge of a new investigative unit. The result is a grounded historical crime story with an energetic central detective, vivid period detail, and a serial-killer thread that keeps the pages turning.
