By Steven Levingston. "A True Story of Murder and Mesmerism in Belle Époque Paris" -- a "gruesome 1889 murder of a lascivious court official," a con man, a manhunt, and the obligatory misogyny directed at one defendant.
A nicely kept library copy of this hardcover; library wrap and stamps, and a sticker on the back, but otherwise bright and straight. A nice reading copy.
