«Misa negra» is the historical crime novel by Olivier Barde-Cabuçon, published by Siruela in 2015, in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
In the Paris of 1759, the commissioner of strange deaths Volnay and his assistant, a heretic monk, investigate the discovery of a young woman's body on a frozen tomb. The only clues —a black host, a crucifix, some footprints and a sign forbidding God's entry into a cemetery— point to satanic rituals.
Second installment in the commissioner of strange deaths series; it won the 2013 History Prize for best French historical crime novel. It was originally published as «Messe noire» in 2013.
Aimed at readers of historical and crime fiction, especially those who enjoy plots set in eighteenth-century Paris.
