Summary

EL GRAN MAESTRO DEL CRIMEN FRANCÉS RETRATA LOS ÚLTIMOS DÍAS DE LA COMUNA
EN UNA NOVELA DE LA ESTIRPE DE LOS MISERABLES

Por las calles de una ciudad llena de trincheras, el mal merodea con libertad. Están desapareciendo mujeres muy jóvenes y las sospechas se centran en un fotógrafo cuyos trabajos son algo peculiares.

CORREN LOS ÚLTIMOS DÍAS DE LA COMUNA DE PARÍS

Una de las secuestradas es Caroline, la prometida del sargento Nicolas Bellec, combatiente del bando comunero. Nadie parece tener la llave de la bodega donde está encerrada y, cuando las tropas de Versalles entren a sangre y fuego, ya no habrá escapatoria.

CAEN LOS OBUSES Y EMPIEZAN LAS EJECUCIONES SUMARIAS

Investiga el asunto un oficial de policía con marcado sentido del deber, el comisario Antoine Roques. La suya es una carrera contrarreloj para dar con la muchacha, mientras se acerca el inexorable fin de la Comuna.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

THE GREAT MASTER OF FRENCH CRIME NOVELS PORTRAYS THE LAST DAYS OF THE COMMUNE IN A NOVEL OF THE STYLE OF LES MISERABLES  

Through the streets of a city full of trenches, evil wanders freely. Very young women are disappearing and suspicions are focused on a photographer whose work is somewhat peculiar.  

THE LAST DAYS OF THE COMMUNE OF PARIS ARE COMING

One of the hostages is Caroline, the fiancée of Sergeant Nicolas Bellec, a combatant on the communal side. No one seems to have the key to the hold where she is locked up and, when Versailles troops enter with blood and fire, there will be no escape.

THE MORTARS FALL AND THE SUMMARY EXECUTIONS BEGIN

The matter is investigated by a police officer with a strong sense of duty, Commissioner Antoine Roques. Theirs is a race against the clock to find the girl, while the inexorable end of the Commune is approaching.
