Cabourg, summer 1907. Marcel Proust discovers the Normandy seaside resort for the first time, hoping to find the inspiration and rest that the doctors recommended. But fate decides otherwise when, during a sumptuous ball at the Grand Hotel, a rich widow is found dead on the terrace. Alongside the insightful Commissioner Lefort, the writer finds himself immersed in a dizzying investigation that goes far beyond the scope of a simple social crime. From clues to revelations, from secrets to betrayals, Proust and Lefort gradually discover the existence of a plot that threatens the fragile balance of Europe. In the hushed corridors of the Grand Hotel, behind the elegant facades of the villas, darker intrigues are hidden than they imagined. From worldly salons to secret passages, from the beaches of Cabourg to the mysterious mansions of the Pays d'Auge, their investigation leads them in a race against time to thwart a Machiavellian plan with international ramifications. A captivating adventure where Proust's observant eye and the rigor of Commissioner Lefort combine to unravel the mysteries of a seemingly peaceful society, but one that is plagued by its secrets. A novel that skillfully mixes police intrigue, historical fresco and social analysis, plunging us into the last carefree hours of the Belle Époque.
