Loot at Paris

By Afp Kozhipatt

A novel by AFP Kozhipatt

Madurai, 1799. Paris, 1925. Two centuries. Two oceans. One trail of blood - and the wrong men are already following it.

On a quiet street near the Palais Garnier, a battered picture frame hangs in a caf no one notices. Behind its patinaed glass, folded into a canvas older than the Republic, lies a secret men have killed for and empires have buried: a thread connecting the burning palaces of Madurai to the smoky caf s of Jazz Age Paris, and a fortune the world believes vanished the night the Rajas fell.

Kathir knows none of this - yet. He pours coffee, keeps his head down, and asks no questions. But an old journal, a Swiss mercenary who walked out of the smoke carrying more than he should, and a child wrapped in a Yali-striped shawl are about to pull him into a chase across two cities and two centuries.

He has only days to save his heritage of centuries. The others hunting the same secret have money, power, and history on their side - and they have no intention of letting a caf owner reach the treasure first.

Loot at Paris is a propulsive historical thriller about empire, betrayal, and the treasures that refuse to stay buried - perfect for readers of Dan Brown, Kate Mosse, and William Dalrymple's The Anarchy.
