Salamander

The investigative team of St-Cyr of the Surete and Kohler of the Gestapo is sent to Lyon to catch the arsonist who set a fire in a crowded cinema. One hundred and eighty three Frenchmen and women from all walks of life are dead. Is the crime linked to the Resistance, several of whose members were trapped in the flames? Or is there a pyromaniac at large who kills for sexual thrills and release? St-Cyr and Kohler face their most difficult challenge as they take on the case of the firebug who has been given the name of Salamander.
