About the book
The old man is Auguste, the owner of a celebrated restaurant in the Halles district of Paris. When he collapses dramatically and dies soon after, his family gather round like jackals waiting for financial pickings.
The suspicions set up in the mind of each member of this very disparate family while they search frantically for a will and for expected fortune lead to an explosion of greed and disappointment which splits brother from brother.
