MYSTERIES IN PARIS

Murder on the Eiffel Tower

Claude Izner

Paris, at the end of the 19th Century. Victor Legris is in his 30's and works as a bookseller. He regularly finds himself confronted with mysteries and that's good luck because he loves acting as a detective.

Paris, June 1889: while the entire world is crowding at the Universal Exposition, where the Eiffel Tower has just been built, a series of unexplained deaths occurs. Victor Legris should have no reason to get involved in this matter, but he decides to investigate at the risk of having his life being turned upside down...

Claude Izner is the pen name of two sisters, Liliane Korb and Laurence Lefèvre, who are both second-hand booksellers along the Seine.
