The 19th arrondissement in Paris is a cosmopolitan district where citizens of disparate backgrounds live, love and worship alongside each other. The peace is shattered when Ahmed Taroudant's melancholy daydreams are interrupted by the blood dripping from his upstairs neighbor's mutilated corpse. The murder of Laura Vignola, and the pork joint placed next to her, set imaginations ablaze across the neighborhood, and Ahmed finds himself the prime suspect. But detectives Rachel Kupferstein and Jean Hamelot have plenty of other leads. What is the connection between a disbanded hip-hop group and the fiery extremist preachers who jostle for attention in the streets? And what is the mysterious new drug that has found its way into all of the districts darkest corners?
