Las noches del miedo azul

Spring 1832. A cholera epidemic terrorizes the Parisian population, causing hundreds of deaths and fueling the most outlandish rumors. As if this misfortune weren't enough, a series of atrocious murders strikes the working-class neighborhood of Saint-Merri: all the victims, stabbed and mutilated with precision, are missing a vital organ. Is it the work of a maniac? Or is there something more behind such barbarity? Faced with the risk of widespread panic, Inspector Valentin Verne plunges into an investigation that will drag him into the darkest corners of the capital: damp alleyways, sordid taverns, courtyards where the destitute huddle together, and cellars where conspiracies are hatched. In this shadowy Paris, beneath the fear and suspicion lie political intrigues, personal vendettas, and secrets capable of testing even the sharpest mind.
