Summary of the Book
August 15, 1543.
During the siege of Nice by the Franco-Turkish armies, an obscure laundress, Catherine Ségurane, thwarts a plot and prevents the fortress from falling. In the present day, a scientist is murdered during the archaeological digs conducted under the tramway. It is the thread linking these two events that Garri Gasiglia, a colorful private detective from Nice, must find. Will he succeed in untangling the skein of a conspiracy that threatens to plunge the Côte d’Azur into chaos? On the trail of an occult brotherhood of crimson penitents, the quest for a mysterious medieval parchment, which seems to be the key to the puzzle, will lead him to face Hong Kong triads, Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta, and Albanian psychopaths in a merciless struggle.
From the underworld of Old Toulon to the glitz of an Eze palace, passing through the abandoned tunnels dug under the old castle of Nice, all the ingredients for a well-seasoned Niçoise salad come together in this case, up to its twist-filled conclusion. A captivating investigation, conducted at a fast pace in the heart of an unprecedented Riviera, where realism, humor, sensuality, and suspense intertwine.
