The Shadow of the Cat

Marseille, 2032. A huge conurbation of several million inhabitants, created on eighteen underground levels, after an armed conflict which led to many species of animals becoming extinct.
But one race of predators remains: the serial killer.
Inspector Canavese's mission is to find one of these: an intruder who enacts a strange sacrificial ritual on his victims. He leaves old, ridiculous objects behind him.
An investigation that gets seriously complicated the day Canavese meets Serge Lançon, a dubious electrician, principally known for his highly accurate killing machines...
