The poet assassin

Some mysterious graffiti on the walls of the Castillet, a

crowned reptile in Saint Jean Cathedral, the Campo Santo

defiled: these are some of the bizarre clues in Lieutenant

Dominique d'Astié's latest investigation.

Is there a link between their symbolism, the enigmatic poems

strewn all over the streets of Perpignan and the bloody

assassination of "King Arthur Pendragon"?

The young Parisian police officer, newest member of

La Police Judiciaire de Perpignan, will need to brush up on the

old Arthurian legends if she is to solve this very non-Catalan

murder!
