Assassination

The most terrible criminals…don't need to hide.

Life on the streets of Paris is not easy for most people, but for seven-year-old Larouche, it is all he has known. He may be small and young, but he's clever. He gets by, relying on his wits. Everything is fine until he crosses paths with Chief Inspector Paul Malet.

Malet has no time for the urchin's mischief.  He can feel a growing menace:

England's Heiress Apparent, Princess Victoria, will be traveling to Paris at Christmas for a state visit. It is a crucial time for France.  The Princess' safety must be guarded.

Malet senses a plot brewing?

And why did he pick now to fall in love?
