SynopsisDetailsWhere to find

The son of a powerful politician is strangled in a grand Parisian library. The police call it a mugging gone wrong, but master sleuth Lord Edgington is not convinced. When a second body turns up in another library – this time with a note promising more violence – he discovers a troubling pattern. The victims belong to a group of radicals who congregate in the city's cafés. The menacing note speaks of revolution, but is it all just a smokescreen for the killer's true motive? With his grandson Christopher at his side, a snooty French rival snapping at their heels, and terror on the streets of the city, Lord Edgington has three days to crack the case. The body count rises, and the clock ticks towards a grand finale at the Paris Opera, but who will be standing centre stage when the killer is finally revealed? “The Paris Library Murders” is a fast-paced 1930s whodunit full of real-life locations, intrigue, and a dash of mischief. Whether it’s your first or your fifteenth, the latest entry in the bestselling Lord Edgington saga may just turn out to be your favourite.
