The Bureau of Dark Affairs 3. Nights of Blue Horror

Paris, 1832. A terrible cholera epidemic strikes Paris, affecting primarily the poor and spreading panic. The city is engulfed in rumors and fear, while the people grumble against the measures introduced by the government.

However, soon events spiral out of control: false leads multiply, scholars are kidnapped, and Vidocq, who has again taken charge of the Sûreté police, finds a way to uncover the true identity of the Vicar
and answer the question that torments the inspector at night: to whom did this criminal serve?
