More DescriptionIn the 14th arrondissement of Paris in the years following World War II, detective Nestor Burma runs into an ex-convict he had met during the war who offers him an opportunity to make a large sum of money completely legally. But when the ex-convict is mysteriously murdered, Burma begins an investigation to solve the murder and comes into contact with art collectors, magistrates, crazy surrealist poets, and a fascinating and little-known Paris. His inquests set him on the trail of a band of robbers, the Rats of Montsouris, and of a great treasure that has been hidden ever since the end of the war.
En el XVIe arrondissement de París en los años posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el detective Nestor Burma se encuentra con un ex presidiario, al que había conocido durante la guerra, que le ofrece la oportunidad de ganar mucho dinero y de manera legal. Pero cuando el ex presidiario es misteriosamente asesinado, Burma inicia una investigación para esclarecer la muerte y entra en contacto con coleccionistas de arte, magistrados, locos poetas surrealistas y un París fascinante y poco conocido. Sus pesquisas lo ponen tras la pista de una banda de atracadores, las Ratas de Montsouris, y de un gran botín que lleva escondido desde el final de la guerra.
