About This Book

A seasoned Parisian detective undertakes a complex criminal investigation triggered by a violent incident near Notre-Dame, gathering disparate clues such as footprints, a distinctive tooth, a dog's memory, a lost doll, and an enigmatic diary. The inquiry threads through private rooms, hairdressers, and official offices, drawing a woman into the center of the mystery and unearthing confessions, disguises, and a revealing moving-picture episode. Attention to criminal technique and domestic detail mixes with the detective's personal ties, including his mother and dog, as methodical detection leads to confrontations that gradually expose a layered criminal network and the personal consequences for several figures.
