Las noches del miedo azul

A terrible disease ravages Paris... and murder spreads terror through the city Spring, 1832. A cholera epidemic is terrifying the population of Paris, claiming hundreds of lives and giving rise to the wildest rumors. As if that disaster were not enough, a series of gruesome murders strikes the working-class neighborhood of Saint-Merri: every victim, stabbed and precisely mutilated, is missing a vital organ. Is it the work of a madman? Or is there something more sinister behind such barbarity? Faced with the risk of widespread panic, Inspector Valentin Verne plunges into an investigation that will drag him into the darkest corners of the capital: damp alleys, sordid taverns, courtyards crowded with the destitute, and cellars where conspiracies are forged. In this shadowy Paris, beneath fear and suspicion, political intrigue, personal revenge, and secrets pulse--secrets capable of testing even the sharpest mind. Once again, Éric Fouassier delivers a gripping story in which history, crime, and mystery intertwine to create a compelling tale set in the heart of a Paris torn between progress and darkness.
