A CAT IN PARIS

The set­ting for this thril­ling crime thril­ler is the French capi­tal, whe­re Dino the cat leads a dou­ble life: By day, he is a well-beha­ved pet for six-year-old Zoé, but at the same time Dino spends his nights with Nico, a good-natu­red burglar. Dino regu­lar­ly brings Zoé small gifts such as lizards from his night­ly forays. Her mother Jeanne, a poli­ce chief by pro­fes­si­on, finds the­se gifts dis­gus­ting, but spends litt­le time with her daugh­ter. Her hus­band and for­mer pat­rol part­ner was mur­de­red by the noto­rious cri­mi­nal Victor Costa. In her next case, she sees her chan­ce to final­ly catch Victor Costa. But as the streets of Paris would have it, all tho­se invol­ved come tog­e­ther in an unu­su­al way. (HM)
