About the Author:
Claude Izner is the pen-name of two sisters, Liliane Korb and Laurence Lefevre. Both booksellers on the banks of the Seine, they are experts on nineteenth-century Paris.
From Booklist:
Liliane Korb and Laurence Lefevre, writing together as Izner, bring readers to Belle Époque Paris in 1894. An anonymous former seaman rescues a woman from a shipwreck on the coast of Normandy and finds papers linking her to Paris. He travels there to see if he can find out why she ended up on the ship. Meanwhile, the body of a well-dressed woman wearing a velvet mask turns up near the abattoirs of La Villette in Paris. Maurice Laumier asks bookseller Victor Legris to investigate. Newly married, Legris is more interested in spending time with his wife, an artist, and pursuing his photography. His brother-in-law, an expectant father and bookstore employee, wants to help with the case. The two are puzzled when two wealthy men are murdered in the next few days. Are the cases related? Both victims were members of the Black Unicorn Society, an organization dedicated to finding the philosopher’s stone. Legris and his brother-in-law need to conceal their detective work from their wives, who frown on their interest in mysteries. They also need to cope with their nosy and imperious housekeeper. Readers will enjoy the Parisian atmosphere and the colorful cast of artists, poets, and working girls. A satisfying entry in a consistently strong historical series. --Barbara Bibel
