Les belles promesses

Pierre Lemaitre

Description

Someone is robbing the town. Someone else is digging up graves. And they're both blaming it on literary legends.

Beneath the surface of this idyllic Texas town, a storm is brewing. Graves are mysteriously dug up under the cloak of darkness, and local shops fall victim to daring robberies. The baffling part? Witnesses claim to have seen the spirits of literary legends—Edgar Allan Poe, Jane Austen, Mark Twain, and Agatha Christie—at the crime scenes.

The local private investigator dismisses the spectral claims and pawns off the case on his assistant, seventeen-year-old Lizzie Brown, a tenacious teen sleuth determined to prove herself. Lizzie recruits her twin sister, Samantha, and together they delve deeper into the investigation, discovering cryptic clues and hidden motives tied to literary references.

They traverse gloomy Gothic landscapes with Poe, engage in witty banter in Austen's elegant society, embark on thrilling adventures with Twain, and employ Christie's methodical approach to solving crimes.

Can the twins decipher the bewildering connections between the ghostwriters and the crimes plaguing Lake Falls? Or will uncovering this bizarre truth put them at risk of becoming a permanent part of the town's dark history?
