Paris, September 1929. For Harris Stuyvesant, the assignment is an American private investigator's dream - he's getting paid to prowl the cafés and bars of Montparnasse, looking for a missing young woman. Her name is Philippa Crosby, and she's a twenty-two-year-old from. Boston who has been living in Paris, modeling and acting. As Stuyvesant follows Philippa's trail through the expatriate community of artists and writers, he crosses paths with many of its famous - and infamous - inhabitants, from Ernest Hemingway to the Surrealist photographer Man Ray.
But when the evidence leads Stuyvesant to the Théâtre du Grand-Guignol in Montmartre, his investigation takes a disturbing turn. At the Grand-Guignol, murder, insanity, and sexual perversion are. all staged to shocking effect. Soon it becomes clear that Stuyvesant must descend into dark depths to find a killer whose artistic coup de grâce is to be rendered in blood.
