An undercover detective goes missing and the body of a young man is found mutilated …
Kind of follow-up to the previous one. Still nice, but the author doesn't play fair. For me the reader should have all the pieces to be able to solve the riddle, and here, you don't, so no much of a chance to solve the mysteries. Too bad. Still does for nice reading.

Comme tous les ouvrages collectifs, certains auteurs sont plus intéressants que d'autres, et les histoires varient aussi; Certaines énigmes ont été résolues, d'autres pas. Et les grandes énigmes de l'histoire sont essentiellement française, sans toujours un intérêt évident pour les non-français. Tout cela mis à part, cela reste une livre à lire :-)
