Nouveau Art.

Sans titre. Détail. Huile sur Masonite, artiste inconnu.

Untitled. Detail. Oil on Masonite, unknown artist.

Architect of His Own Destruction.

Crime author Aldrich Tobias, the man the critics love to hate, sits in La Prison Santé, awaiting the guillotine. He’s been convicted of a series of sex-murders involving women and girls. The President of the Republic has asked Detective-Sergeant Gilles Maintenon to take another look into the case. There’s not much physical evidence, just a few mirror-like resemblances to chapters from Tobias’s published works. According to Aldrich Tobias, ‘The artist is mad—always mad.” Maintenon is about to find out what that really means.
