Title : Austerlitz 10.5 - Anne-Laure Béatrix, François-Xavier Dillard - book
Summary :
Imagine a world where the Mona Lisa has disappeared...
In 1910, the Seine reached its maximum level during the great flood of Paris: 8.62 meters on the hydrometric scale of the Austerlitz bridge.
Today, it has been raining for three days in the capital. For the first three days, the city's residents grumbled. And then, on the evening of the fourth day, the power supply was cut. Most arrondissements experienced a total blackout, sending an unprecedented wave of panic through the population. The metro was shut down. The entire vast underground public transportation network was flooded by hectoliters of dark, icy water. When the first buildings collapsed and the great wave of mud swept over the city, a veritable mass hysteria gripped Parisians, and the worst atrocities were committed. In the name of survival... Fear, then violence, swept over the city.
Paris is devastated and most of the inhabitants, at least those lucky enough to still have a roof over their heads, are hiding in their homes waiting for the insane rain to finally stop...
Under the Austerlitz bridge, the water level reached its record high: 10.5.
A year later, we know that Paris will never be the same again. For François Mallarmé, who lost everything in this catastrophe, his wife and child, life is nothing but a long nightmare. He continues as best he can to do his job as a cop in a city where nothing makes sense anymore. Until the day when a case of sordid murders brings him back to his nightmare, in the very heart of the Louvre, in this museum which for the whole world was the symbol of what was once the most beautiful city in the world, and where even the Mona Lisa has disappeared....
