Ballet is a demanding art. But it is not supposed to be a deadly one.
When one of the leading ballerinas of the Paris Opera Ballet is found strangled, it is a hard blow for the company. When dark secrets are found in her recent past, its very future is threatened. When others are killed in the same way, it begins to looks as if a curse has fallen upon the Opera and its tight-knit community of dancers.
When the case lands on the desk of captain Franck Guerin of the city's Major Crimes Unit, he finds himself drawn into a world far removed from his own. Not a comfortable place to be when faced with a nimble-footed killer who can dance rings around him.
David Barrie's third novel featuring captain Franck Guerin follows firmly in the footsteps of its predecessors: a remarkable cast of characters; an intimate knowledge of the social geography of Paris; and a finely-wrought plot that would make a Swiss watchmaker proud.
Genre: Mystery
