Nel marzo del 1944, un camino che emette fumi maleodoranti attira l'attenzione dei vicini, che avvertono la polizia. Quando le forze dell'ordine entrano nella casa al 21 di rue Le Sueur, scoprono un orrore inimmaginabile: arti semicarbonizzati, teschi, ossa e un pozzo pieno di calce viva con resti umani. Una cella insonorizzata con un “occhio magico” permette di assistere alle atrocità. In questo contesto, emerge la figura del dottor Marcel Petiot, noto come il “medico del popolo”, un benefattore vicino alla Resistenza, accusato di aver ucciso decine di persone fingendo di aiutarle a fuggire dai nazisti in cambio di denaro, o per pura sadismo. È lui il “Lupo di Parigi”, un serial killer che ha seminato terrore nella capitale. Le indagini sono condotte dal commissario Georges-Victor Massu della Brigade Criminelle, ispirazione per il celebre commissario Maigret di Simenon. Questa narrazione non fiction offre un affascinante true crime ricco di misteri, con un ampio cast di personaggi: poliziotti, banditi, giudici, intellettuali, profughi e agenti della Gestapo, tutti coinvolti in un dramma che si svolge sullo sfondo della guerra clandestina.

"Red Star Over Russia is a visual history of the Soviet Union, from 1917 to the death of Stalin. Its urgent, cinema-verite style plunges the reader into the centre of the shattering events that brought hope, chaos, heroism and horror to the citizens of the world's first workers' state. Revolutionary upheaval turns into Civil War and famine; Stalin's Great Terror of the 1930s is followed by the brutal onslaught of Nazi invasion. The story ends with the intrigue surrounding the dictator's gruesome death in 1953." "More than 550 posters, photographs and graphics are reproduced to the highest quality, accompanied by insightful and informative texts. Many of these images are being reproduced here for the first time. Zooming in from the epic to the particular, the author rescues many lost heroes and villains from obscurity, through the work of the most brilliant Soviet designers, artists and photographers of the twentieth century."--Jacket
