It was written in the stars that commissaire Charles C.M. Carlier of the Sûréte Nationale & Interpol would be called by a good friend after her friend had died of poisoning after drinking the water from a source springing in the world famous Lourdes. Where the holy Bernadette had visions of Maria. And therefor a suspious death would not be in favour of any economic pressures on the local economy. So the death was marked as a suïcide which only made the good policeman investigating as a favour to his friend more interested.
And an curious Shadow is always more dangerous to any villainery afoot.
After the writer Havank died whose creation called the Shadow lived on with Pieter Terpstra who continued with the character based on ideas and incomplete stories by Havank. And gradually had some tales himself to tell. Not sure which one this is but it was entertaining enough with Terpstra being a lesser wordsmith of the Dutch language than the original writer.
