About this book
A Sunday family photograph is interrupted when a frightened concierge comes looking for Inspector Bernardet. A lodger, M. Rovère, has been found dead in his apartment on the Boulevard de Clichy, and Bernardet leaves his garden with his camera to investigate. Jules Claretie's Paris detective novel introduces an officer whose curiosity extends from newspaper clippings and old books to the people and puzzles of his daily work.
The inquiry moves from these domestic scenes to a tense exchange between the magistrate Ginory and Jacques Dantin, a friend of the dead man. Questions about Dantin's movements and his refusal to explain himself make silence a source of suspicion.
