About the Book

There has been no need for detection in Basle since the invention of the tracers, tiny motes in the air which can reveal the slightest illegality. But now the city is being rent by a spate of murders. Once again, Roberta Morgenstern and Cl ment Martineau are on the trail, caught up in the devil's dance. A new killer, bound to the will of the winds, is committing a series of terrible and violent crimes. Not only this, but the rain is incessant and water levels are rising. Soon the dams will be breached, and all Basle will be underwater. High-speed chases across roof-tops and through winding streets lead Roberta and Cl ment to the Queen of the Gypsies, the pirates of the lagoon, and finally to their fateful meeting with the deadly Baron of the Mists ...

About the Author :
Herv Jubert worked as a chauffeur, butcher's assistant and drummer in a rock band before becoming a writer. He lives in the south of France. Anthea Bell, the translator of this work, is one of the most respected and well known in the business. She has won numerous awards, and is probably most famous for her translations of the Asterix books.

Review :
Dance of the Assassins: 'Very dark, utterly addictive and simply brilliant.' - The Bookseller This is a gloriously silly comic book of a novel which manages, in passing, to be sweet-natured, smart and flashy. - Time Out London A thrilling tale ... an unusual and beautifully written story and my favourite children's book of 2004. - Books for Keeps, Best Stories of 2004 Another thrilling read - What's on in London Victorian London, seventeenth-century Paris, Renaissance Venice and Montezuma's Mexico are the places where Herv? Jubert has choreographed his ballet, with the hand of a master ... the result is a devilish dance which confirms the exceptional talent of its creator. Don't hesitate, join the dance ... - Le Monde It's compelling stuff, with some ingenious plotting, plenty of twists, a cast of vividly memorable characters and a number of wonderfully evocative set-pieces. - SFX magazine An original novel - Sunday Morning Post
