'Fauteuil Hante' Summary
L'Académie française est endeuillée par la mort de Mgr d'Abbeville. À la suite de ce décès, chaque candidat désigné pour occuper son fauteuil meurt lors du discours d'hommage à son prédécesseur. Hippolyte Patard, secrétaire perpétuel, commence à désespérer, personne ne voulant être le successeur de Mgr d'Abbeville, craignant une malédiction lancée par un mage, dont on n'aurait pas voulu comme académicien. C'est alors qu'arrive Gaspard Lalouette, simple antiquaire et marchand. Il est prêt à relever le défi et à enquêter sur cette mystérieuse affaire. Il découvre rapidement que l'Académie est le théâtre d'une lutte de pouvoir entre différents clans, chacun cherchant à prendre le contrôle de l'institution. Gaspard Lalouette devra déjouer les pièges et démasquer le coupable avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.Book Details
