Who is killing the celebrated bouquinistes of Paris?
Max—an elderly Paris bookstall owner—is
abducted at gunpoint. His friend, Hugo Marston, head of security at the
US embassy, looks on helplessly, powerless to do anything to stop the
kidnapper.
Marston launches a search, enlisting the
help of semiretired CIA agent
Tom Green. Their investigation reveals that Max was a
Holocaust survivor and later became a Nazi hunter. Is his disappearance
somehow tied to his grim history, or even to the mysterious old books he
sold?
On the streets of Paris, tensions are
rising as rival drug gangs engage in violent turf wars. Before long,
other booksellers start to disappear, their bodies found floating in the
Seine. Though the police are not interested in his opinion, Marston is
convinced the hostilities have something to do with the murders of these
bouquinistes.
Then he himself becomes a target of the unknown assassins.
With Tom by his side, Marston finally puts the pieces
of the puzzle together, connecting the past with the present and leading
the two men, quite literally, to the enemy's lair.
Just as the killer intended.
