Description

A bustling Paris street erupts in panic when a dead man is found hanging bizarrely from the bronze spires of the Obelisk. The grisly scene draws a crowd of startled passersby, police officers, and a curious journalist named M. Bobby, whose keen eye doesn’t miss the strange details that hint at something far more unsettling than a simple suicide. As the officials struggle to free the corpse, rumors spread like wildfire, and the city’s undercurrents of intrigue begin to surface.

Amid the chaos, a shadowy figure known only as Coxward watches from the sidelines, its motives as enigmatic as the strange body suspended in the air. The first act sets the stage for a tangled web of crime, hidden chemistry, and daring reportage, promising a labyrinthine adventure through Paris’s fog‑laden avenues and secret societies. Listeners will be drawn into a world where every clue is a step deeper into a mystery that refuses to stay quiet.

About the author

Jules Lermina

Jules Lermina

1839–1915

A restless, prolific voice in 19th-century French popular fiction, he moved easily from journalism and political controversy to adventure stories, mysteries, and early speculative tales. His life carried as much drama as his novels, including prison terms for his socialist activism and public support from Victor Hugo.
