«L'enfant léopard» is the novel by Daniel Picouly, published by Le Grand livre du mois in 1999 (390 pages, in French).
Harlem detectives Ed Cercueil and Fossoyeur Jones, characters by Chester Himes, appear in eighteenth-century Paris to investigate a young mixed-race man who could be the son of Marie Antoinette. Picouly blends conspiracies, encounters with Robespierre and Olympe de Gouges, and a fast-paced rhythm that does not aspire to historical accuracy.
It won the Prix Renaudot in 1999; the cover bears the subtitle «roman».
