Paris Noir. The Orange Seed Murder – vol. 3
When elegance hides cruelty, even a brushstroke can become lethal.
Just when it seems that the Bain-Mergnac wedding reception is about to end, a chilling scream echoes from one of the more secluded rooms of the villa. A maid runs away horrified, and Berthe finds a beautiful woman lying on the floor, lifeless. A few hours later, the young artist is with Claude and Pierre in the apartment on rue Sarrazin, determined to get to the bottom of things: the girl’s name was Eloise, and she was a model. Who could have stabbed her in the middle of the celebration? But what the future masters of Impressionism still don’t know is that this is only the first in a series of murders linked by a mysterious detail. On the victims’ bodies, there are always white, elongated seeds. Orange seeds.
- Two leading children’s authors, the finalist and the winner of the 2019 Strega Prize, join forces again in another incredible children’s adventure.
- A series of cases linked to the world of art, Bohemian artists, and what the three of them (and other friends like Cézanne, Manet – who Berthe will marry – Gauguin, Toulouse- Lautrec) will become: impressionist painters.
From the same series (Paris Noir): The Self-portrait, The headless man.
