Old gendarme Maurice Ygrec is on holiday...a kind of vacation in reverse, for he has left his comfortable home in the Moselle valley to stay with his good friends, Inspector Michelin and his wife in St. Denis, only a few kilometers from his beloved Paris.And there, in the town that was for centuries the burial place of French royalty, Ygrec discovers some murderous, king-size secrets that lead to some very unroyal corpses. What is the thread that connects the activities of an old woman digging a grave side hold in her garden, a young man on a motorcycle arrested for peddling drugs, the dissolute wife of a real estate agent, and a pert, bright eyed young girl in love for the first time?It isn't long before Ygrec discovers that the thread binding these people together leads to murder...some will witness it, some will be victims, and some will practice it.
