Les enquêtes polar de Philippine Lomar #2

The second volume of this French-language mystery series finds young detective Philippine Lomar balancing precariously on a tightrope high above a grand, glass-domed hall, arms outstretched as shadowy hands reach up from the darkness below — a cover image that perfectly captures the series' blend of adventure and suspense. Subtitled Le Braqueur des Cœurs ("The Heartbreaker"), this 2017 release from Éditions de la Gouttière continues to put its resourceful, spirited heroine at the center of an atmospheric urban mystery. Fans of sharp detective stories aimed at younger readers will find this an appealing addition to the shelf.
