Acclaimed author Eugenia Parry (whose essays appear in Bone House, TT074H and Adam Fuss, AE001H, among others), presents a series of investigative short stories, all revolving around an album of 19th century Parisian crime scene photographs. Drawing heavily from the original police reports, Parry masterfully fills in the factual blanks to create a work of amazing lucidity and suspense. A delightful blending of fact and fiction, text and imagery.
