Paris, 1895. When a cancan dancer at the Moulin Rouge falls to her death from the top of one of Montmartre's highest staircases, the police dismiss it as an accident. But, Madeleine was one of Toulouse-Lautrec's favorite models, and the artist is certain she was murdered. Enter Depression-era detective Steven Blackwell and 21st-century journalist Olivia Watson, who travel back in time to Paris to hunt down the killer. Before long, they learn that a second dancer-a ballerina and favorite model of painter Edgar Degas-has died. Two dancers dead in two weeks. Two artists grieving. Is the killer targeting young dancers, or, does this case involve the enigmatic Paris art world?

Worse, he has no official status to investigate murder in one of the world's largest cities. The sleuths soon discover disturbing secrets at the Paris Ballet. And when Olivia insists on going undercover to visit a suspect's house alone, Steven fears he's made the biggest mistake of his life.

Travel back in time with Steven and Olivia, as they enter the back-stabbing world of dance in one of the world's greatest cities. Murder at the Moulin Rouge is their most daring and dangerous case to date.
