But who among the onlookers is he pointing at? Further deaths rapidly follow, as the ranks of restaurateurs quickly diminish. Panic and anger grip Paris, and Maison must quickly uncover a complex web of conspiracy, revenge and betrayal. As the body count mounts, no one is immune from the carnage - nor from suspicion.
