Описание:

In Belle poque Paris, the morgue is the place to see and be seen ...

"This morning I was called upon to photograph the dead again." So begins the story of Edouard Mas, a photographer's assistant with a detective's soul. Edouard's job is to take pictures of corpses before they are carted off to the Paris Morgue. If the bodies are unidentified, they will be put behind glass for the whole city to view, in a morbid display of lost and found.

Edouard begins to come across more and more bodies stripped of their identification and laid out in methodical poses, and he knows he is dealing with those who dabble in art--the art of death. The morgue--their museum.

Edouard's investigation takes him from the sterile halls of La Salp tri re to the opulent, smoke-filled soirees of high society, but he must do everything in his power to stop the artists of death, before they go after somebody he loves ...

In exquisite prose--so vivid you can almost taste the absinthe and hear the rustling skirts of the Moulin Rouge showgirls--Hunter tells an unforgettable tale of murder and lust in the City of Light.

Описание:

His famous father is inviting him on more than just a journey into the past. It's a treasure hunt.

To his fans, douard Bresson is the greatest comic standing--charismatic, adored, unmatched, and aiming ever higher for the unpredictable. To his ex-wife, he fulfilled all expectations, except as a husband and a lover. To his brother, he's a hero. And to his estranged son, Arthur, he's always been a mystery. Never more so than now...

After the performance of a lifetime at the sold-out Stade de France, douard decides to vanish. Tr s dr le.

Arthur isn't laughing. douard has sent him a letter and instructions to a puzzle--a treasure hunt for the son he ignored and misses and loves. If Arthur is willing to find out everything there is to know about his father and to understand the choices he made, all he has to do is put the pieces together.

As the trail of clues winds its way through the past--reflected in the memories of both father and son--what unfolds is a surprising journey of forgiveness, family, and self-discovery.
