“This place is a city within the city. It’s an incredible story…”

My teaser from page 48.

This little boy with a round head and a smile that curved like a banana was the cutest baby in the world.

Synopsis

When a major Parisian modern art event gets unexpected attention on live TV, Chief of Police Nico Sirsky and his team of elite crime fighters rush to La Villette park and museum complex. On the site of the French capital’s former slaughterhouses, the blood is just starting to flow, and Sirsky finds himself chasing the butcher of Paris, while his own mother faces an uncertain future.

      I hear ya!. I was browsing for a quote and ended up almost finishing it last night. LOL It reminded me of the Bones series and I love them.

  3. I’ve got this one on my TBR stack right now. Hoping to get to it soon — sounds like a great read! Thanks for sharing.

  4. Sounds like a terrific murder mystery, especially since it’s set in Paris. Your Teasers make me want to know more!
    My Tuesday post features THE OTHER SIDE OF HEARTACHE.

      It’s very good Sandra. I’m going to see what else the author has written. The translation is flawless.

  5. Made me think of my baby, but the book cover has such an ominous feel to it! Great teaser nonetheless 😉

      It’s a lot of forensics and clues. Very good. The baby description is a father looking at his sons picture. I loved it.

    I’m intrigued by the city within a city reference.
