I don't normally get too bothered one way or the other about book covers - but it has to be said - this one is wonderful.
Plus it's a very entertaining story so far :)
From the Blurb
A legendary group of sleuths, The Twelve Detectives, come together for the first time at the 1889 World Fair in Paris. But the occasion provokes their greatest challenge when one of them, Louis Dabon, is found murdered at the base of the Fair's second most famous exhibit, the newly built 'Eiffel Tower'.
Opening Lines:
My name is Sigmundo Salvatrio. My father came to Buenos Aires from a town north of Genoa and made his living as a cobbler. When he married my mother, he already owned a shoe-repair shop specialising in men's footware (he never felt comfortable fixing women's shoes).
