Paris at the start of the second millennium: dark with fog, riots over police killings, and Far Right demagogues frightending the confused. Such is the milieu surrounding dogged state criminal investigator Stanislas Cassel at the Palace of Justice. Grandson of a French propagandist for the Nazis during their World War II Occupation, he is ashamed of his family's infamy and avoids anything political. Instead he absorbs himself solving small crimes. One current dossier involves a pensioner's bizarre murder. The major suspect: a Far Right extremist, who Cassel finds odious because the man resembles his collaborator grandfather. During his work, Cassels meets a beautiful Jewish woman, whose family died in a 1942 death camp. Haunted by this experience she tries to warn him about the Far Right's growing strength, but fails. Anything political doesn't interest him at all. Except a life-shattering tragedy devastates him. Only then does Cassel truly understand a larger evil behind his small crimes, as the Occurpation portended, lurks. Murder Without Pity mixes historical fact with fiction and is based on extensive research, interviews, and visits to the City of Light.
