Publisher's Synopsis
Who brutally murdered Claudine Bresson and what dark secrets were worth killing for? Detective James Pierce is determined to uncover the truth, but the closer he gets, the deadlier the game becomes.
Paris is drowning in secrets. Beneath the city's dazzling lights and historic landmarks, something sinister lurks in the shadows. When a string of brutal murders shakes the French capital, each crime is steeped in symbolism, tied to the city's most revered cultural icons. Australian Detective Sergeant James Pierce is brought in to assist the relentless Amélie Dubois, a local investigator determined to unearth the truth. Their pursuit leads them to whispers of L'Ombre Noire, a clandestine society embedded within the highest levels of power-untouchable, unseen, and more dangerous than they ever imagined.
At the heart of the chaos is a name spoken only in fear-Le Spectre. A ghost, a myth... or a mastermind pulling the strings? And then there's the masked man, a phantom linked to the murders, watching, waiting. Ally or adversary? The answer could mean the difference between life and death.
