París es la ciudad de la luz... y de las sombras. En marzo de 1831, Luis Felipe, el nuevo soberano de Francia, se debate entre una política liberal y la mano dura. Hay cambios en la cúpula del Estado que hacen que se cuestione la continuidad de la Brigada de los Misterios Ocultos, dedicada a la investigación de lo presuntamente sobrenatural. En esta situación tan desfavorable, a su director, Valentin Verne, se le confía un nuevo y delicado caso: investigar las actividades de un misterioso médium que utiliza espiritismo y poderes extraordinarios para resucitar a los muertos. Hechos insólitos, diálogos con el más allá y apariciones inexplicables serán un desafío para la racional mente del inspector Verne. Y, por si fuera poco, también debe enfrentarse a un adversario aún más formidable: el Vicario, el odioso criminal al que lleva persiguiendo desde que se incorporó a la policía, ha vuelto a las calles de París dejando tras de sí una estela de cadáveres. Desde los bajos fondos parisinos a los salones de la alta sociedad y desde los espías de Vidocq hasta los inquietantes misterios del espiritismo, Eric Fouassier nos presenta una novela de intriga apasionante y adictiva.
Paris is the city of light... and of shadows. In March 1831, Louis-Philippe, the new sovereign of France, is torn between a liberal policy and an iron fist. There are changes at the top of the State that call into question the continuity of the Brigade des Mysteries Occultes, dedicated to the investigation of the allegedly supernatural. In this unfavorable situation, its director, Valentin Verne, is entrusted with a new and delicate case: to investigate the activities of a mysterious medium who uses spiritism and extraordinary powers to resurrect the dead. Unusual events, dialogues with the afterlife and inexplicable apparitions will challenge the rational mind of Inspector Verne. And, as if that were not enough, he must also face an even more formidable adversary: the Vicar, the odious criminal he has been pursuing since he joined the police force, has returned to the streets of Paris leaving a trail of corpses in his wake. From the Parisian underworld to the salons of high society and from Vidocq's spies to the disturbing mysteries of spiritualism, Eric Fouassier presents us with a gripping and addictive novel of intrigue.
