The second book in the Monsieur Lecoq series, the story revolves around the mysterious death of the Countess de Tremorel, who is found murdered in her bedroom in the small town of Orcival. The prime suspect is her husband, the wealthy Count de Tremorel, who has a reputation for being a violent and jealous man. The investigation is led by Monsieur Lecoq.
