A new historical series from Austin's own Mark Pryor involving a savvy French police detective caught up in impossible politics between the Nazi regime and hands- tied French police. When Henri Lefort is given the case of a murder of a German officer in the Louvre he is puzzled that the Nazi's aren't handling it instead of the Parisian police. When he is given a week to solve it, not allowed to see the crime scene and given a list of french suspects he knows he might as well hang a sign around his neck that says "scapegoat". The secondary story is the relationship between a female psychiatrist who Henri makes a deal with, that usually involves good red wine, so she can help him get rid of his affliction of oversensitivity of certain sounds. This is a different look at occupied Paris, a taste of an underground action to save priceless art from going to the Fatherland and a clever mystery to engage every armchair detective. I am looking forward to hearing more from Inspector Lefort. 4 stars
