Bender At The Bon Parisien (A Novel) - Plot & Excerpts
Victor Laquer emerged from the Hôtel des Bretons into the cool dark air. It was almost three in the morning, and the Rue de l’Échelle was quiet. Another shift was finished in the bar. Two weeks had passed since the bartender told Fleuse and Pistache about the worth of the coin. The two men were ecstatic at the value of the piece, and Victor was happy that he’d decided to tell them. The three men toasted each other and their futures. They planned to hide the coin together until they could sell it, but Victor was beginning to feel a creeping uneasiness. No one had come looking for the coin. So far, the lack of consequences bothered the bartender. Why hadn’t Peukington hunted them down? Silence on his strolls home made Victor uncomfortable. A walk that was once treasured and charming was now haunting. Victor tried to convince himself that he was simply paranoid. All of this weighing heavily on his mind, Victor turned into the blackness of the Tuileries. The bartender couldn’t ever remember it feeling this dark.
