Why would anyone strangle a humble seamstress with no known enemies? Newly-married bookseller Victor Legris is initially baffled by the murder of seemingly-unremarkable Louise Fontaine, in the abattoir district of La Villette.
But as the investigation progresses, Victor, along with his assistant and brother-in-law Joseph, discovers that in belle-époque Paris young girls with no money or background are as ruthlessly preyed on as ever...
Claude Izner is the pen-name of two Parisian sisters, Liliane and Laurence Korb who were booksellers on the banks of the Seine for many years. As a writing duo, the sisters published numerous novels, including the bestselling Paris Bookshop Mysteries. The series has sold more than 800,000 copies in France and been translated into eight languages. Liliane Korb passed away in 2022.
