"The true story of a brutal serial killer who unleashed his own reign of terror in Nazi-occupied Paris. As dismembered body parts surfaced in the Seine, Commissaire Georges-Victor Massu, head of the Brigade Criminelle, was tasked with finding the murderer in a twilight world of Gestapo, the Resistance, and the shadowy Parisian underworld. And the main suspect was charismatic physician Marcel Petiot, 'The People's Doctor.' Yet, despite over a literal ton of evidence, Petiot's brilliance and wit threatened to win the day."--Dustjacket.
