Fauteuil Hante

Fauteuil Hante

by Gaston Leroux

L'Académie française est en émoi. Chaque candidat désigné pour occuper le fauteuil de Mgr d'Abbeville meurt lors du discours d'hommage à son prédécesseur. Hippolyte Patard, secrétaire perpétuel, commence à désespérer. Personne ne veut risquer sa vie pour succéder à Mgr d'Abbeville, craignant une malédiction lancée par un mage qui n'aurait pas été élu à l'Académie. 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.
