The Prophecy of the Almanac (Captain Valentin's Investigations) French Edition

Richard Firenze, an antique book collector with a passion for Nostradamus's prophecies, is murdered under disturbing circumstances. The killer ransacked his entire house without taking anything, leaving a substantial sum of money and rare manuscripts in the safe.

Captain Valentin, in charge of the investigation, suspects the Grand Master of a mysterious secret society called the Illuminati of Avignon. Its followers organize ancient ceremonies and communicate with celestial entities.

Shortly before his death, Richard gave his daughter an envelope containing strange clues: a Nostradamus quatrain, a tarot card depicting the Tower of Babel, two photos showing the Rod of Asclepius, a symbol of alchemists, and an almanac from 1567.

Her research will lead Alice to Florence, the city of the famous Medici family, steeped in a strong esoteric and alchemical tradition. Will Alice manage to solve the enigma left by her father? Will she find Nostradamus's last almanac which, according to old legends, contains a terrible prophecy?

Time is running out. A mysterious killer is in pursuit. The assassin will do everything to get hold of the old book.
