Under a Paris Sky

In the pre-dawn rain, a shivering little bird of a woman appears at the door of a famous Paris sleuth to ask for help in selling an unknown masterpiece by the artist-magician Kizermeirhoff. Mrs. Duchesney asks her visitor, "Did you steal it?" The young Widow Chorifé assures Mrs. Duchesney that she did not, but fears she might know who did. "Fear?" Mrs. Duchesney asks. "Just how well do you know this thief?" Hiding the young woman from a determined villain and chasing a thief from Paris to the southern coast of France will demand dangerous charades from our clever sleuth, if she is to stay one step ahead of her arch-rival Monsieur Bougonne. To save his partner from this police detective, who is convinced their client was involved in a murder, Louie Bertrand will need to recruit an unusual cast of co-conspirators.
