DOSSIER 113
A major robbery has just been committed on Rue de Provence in Paris, at the Fauvel bank. Only two people knew the combination to the safe from which 300,000 francs were stolen. After a cursory investigation, the police arrest Prosper Bertomy, the head cashier. But a second investigation begins, led by Inspector Fanferlot, nicknamed The Squirrel, who discovers the existence of Nina Gipsy, a mysterious young woman kept by the cashier. Fanferlot then calls upon the formidable police officer Lecoq. Alongside him, he follows the trail of a much more complex case.
