THE MISSING ITALIAN GIRL
In this third historical crime novel from Barbara Pope — part of her critically acclaimed Bernard Martin mystery series featuring the awkward and endearing magistrate -- young immigrant girls are disappearing into the depths of turn-of-the-century Paris.
Pyotr Ivanovich Balenov, a young Russian, and two young women transport a dead man through the narrow streets of a working class neighborhood in northeastern Paris. They throw the body into the canal and the girls flee to the Latin Quarter to hide with one of the Russian’s anarchist “comrades.” They do not realize they, too, are being watched. Their subsequent disappearance and the violent acts that follow will set Clarie Martin, a teacher and mother of a toddler, and her husband, magistrate Bernard Martin (last seen in Pope's Cezanne's Quarry and The Blood of Lorraine, also from Pegasus) on a dangerous quest to rescue them from a vicious killer.
