The Hardy Agency

Script by Pierre Christin - Art by Annie Goetzinger

Edith Hardy runs a small detective agency off an unassuming alley in the 13th arrondissement. It’s the 1950s, and foreign forces are busy vying for power in a Paris still recovering from World War II. Edith has a good heart and a missing husband, and her attempts to do right by her small world get her caught up in far larger, darker affairs. Classic Pierre Christin storylines—a strong sense of place and history, humane leftist sympathies—combine with Annie Goetzinger’s indelible artwork to deliver a stylish mystery series for fans of classy whodunits.
