Mystery Historical
The brand-new, shiny Eiffel Tower is the
pride and glory of the 1889 World Exposition. But one
sunny afternoon, as visitors are crowding the viewing
platforms, a woman collapses and dies on this great Paris
landmark. Can a bee sting really be the cause of death? Or
is there a more sinister explanation? Enter young
bookseller Victor Legris. Present on the tower at the time
of the incident, and appalled by the media coverage of the
occurence, he is determined to ?nd out what actually
happened. In this dazzling evocation of late nineteenth-
century Paris, we follow Victor as his investigation takes
him all over the city and he suspects an ever-changing
list of possible perpetrators. Could mysterious Kenji
Mori, his surrogate father and business partner at the
bookstore Legris operates, be involved in the crime? Why
are beautiful Russian illustrator Tasha and her colleagues
at the newly launched
sensationalist newspaper Passepartout always up-to-
date in their reporting? And what will Legris do when the
deaths begin to multiply and he is caught in a race
against time? Murder on the Eiffel Tower is
painstakingly researched, an effortless evocation of the
glorious City of Light, and an exciting opening to a
promising series of eight books featuring Victor
Legris.
