Cabourg, summer 1908. Marcel Proust is delighted to return to the Normandy seaside resort and to Inspector Édouard Lefort, with whom he had conducted a memorable investigation the previous summer. But this time, it is a seemingly trivial detail - a loaf of bread missed at breakfast - that will trigger a new case. When the baker Henri Beaumont is found murdered in his shop, the two companions realise that they are facing much more than a simple crime.

From clues to discoveries, from mysteries to revelations, Proust and Lefort plunge into the twists and turns of an international conspiracy orchestrated by the Triple Alliance to destroy the Franco-British Entente Cordiale. Between the golden salons of the Grand Hotel and the misty quays of the port of Dives, between counterfeit money and real spies, their investigation leads them into a race against time to prevent an operation that could plunge Europe into war.

At the heart of this deadly plot appears a young woman.

A new and captivating adventure where the art of Proustian observation and the insight of Commissioner Lefort combine once again to thwart the darkest machinations. A novel that brilliantly mixes espionage thriller and fresco of the Belle Époque, plunging us into the beginnings of the Great War.
