Book Overview
It's summer in Paris and two tourists have been murdered in P re Lachaise cemetery in front of Jim Morrison's grave. The cemetery is locked down and put under surveillance, but the killer returns, flitting in and out like a ghost, and breaks into the crypt of a long-dead Moulin Rouge dancer. In a bizarre twist, he disappears under the cover of night with part of her skeleton. One of the dead tourists is an American and the other is a woman linked to a suspected terrorist; so the US ambassador sends his best man and the embassy's head of security--Hugo Marston--to help the French police with their investigation. When the thief breaks into another crypt at a different cemetery, stealing bones from a second famed dancer, Hugo is stumped. How does this killer operate unseen? And why is he stealing the bones of once-famous can-can girls? Hugo cracks the secrets of the graveyards but soon realizes that old bones aren't all this killer wants. . . .

Great new detective find
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
I’ve read many detective stories and rank Mark Pryor’s Hugo Marston’s at the highest level. An American embassy official who becomes involved in French /Parisian crimes & works closely with police in solving fascinating & complex cases while letting you know a lot about the culture, food & characters! Great stuff. Cleverly written, funny & very entertaining. You’ll stay up late reading this whole series. They’re great!
