The contract killer against his will gets results - charmingly and without killing

 

Lucien de Chacarasse has come to terms in his own special way with the fact that family tradition has turned him into a contract killer against his will: the young comte will continue to accept secret murder assignments and complete them to his uncle's satisfaction - but without killing anyone in the process. Even if he has to become a confessor to do so!
In Marseilles, Lucien, disguised as a priest, has an extremely unusual conversation with his new victim. Will the charming and tricky Comte be able to use the art of deception to ensure that the target ends up dead - and alive at the same time?
