An unusual crime, suspense novel which keeps you guessing throughout, but it's probably not the best read late at night alone in bed. Its opening gives no impression of this at all. It begins in the tranquillity of the Sorbonne university with the sudden death, at first thought to be suicide, of the Chair of Medieval Philosophy but as the action enters the murky streets of Paris's Latin Quarter, this assumption seems increasingly unlikely . . .
