La brigada de los misterios ocultos

Autumn 1830. In a feverish Paris still reeling from the revolutionary events of July, evil takes on new forms, and the Vicar embodies the most terrifying of them: mysterious and bloodthirsty, he uses scientific advancements and his esoteric knowledge to perpetrate his crimes and then vanish into the shadows of a city in turmoil. To combat this new breed of criminal, the Brigade of Occult Mysteries has just been created, a special department of the Sûreté headed by the young Inspector Valentin Verne. With an angelic face and a solitary nature, Valentin is stern and relentless, and his knowledge of chemistry and medicine, as well as his interest in the occult and the irrational, make him the ideal man to hunt down these modern criminals. But who is Valentin really pursuing? Who hides behind the mask of the Vicar? Does he have any connection to the strange suicide of the dissolute heir to one of France's most illustrious families? What has become of Damien, an orphan who seems to have vanished into thin air? In the footsteps of great detectives like Vidocq and Auguste Dupin, Paris will bear witness to Valentin Verne's relentless fight against evil.
