Pierre Christin and Annie Goetzinger take us into a detective story trilogy.
Paris, in the 50s, and Edith Hardy, the boss of a private detective agency,
must solve the disappearance of a young scientist from a chemical plant.
The investigation, which seems fairly standard at first, will lead the
heroine from the Passage du Rendez-Vous in the 17th arrondissement to
the heart of Soviet Moscow, stopping off at a manor house in Ardennes,
the secret den of the Cominform agents, along the way. Pierre Christin
and Annie Goetzinger bring together the best known sights of Paris with a
clever depiction of the Cold War, industrial espionnage and police
investigation in this beautiful issue comprising the three first volumes
of the series, as well as a new illustrated text with a little more
information on our mysterious heroine.
