Raised and educated by Madame Michel, a French teacher in picturesque Paris of the Belle Époque, Dilili, a precocious, bright-eyed six-year-old French-Kanak girl from New Caledonia, has grown into a kind, well-mannered miss. After a chance encounter with Orel, an adventurous, streetwise delivery boy, Dilili embarks on a fascinating mission to get to the bottom of the recent spate of unsolved kidnappings throughout the City of Light. As the team of young investigators comb the dazzling Parisian metropolis for clues, they get help from famous people such as
Claude Monet,
Marcel Proust,
Louis Pasteur,
Marie Curie, and
Sarah Bernhardt among many others. But, who is terrorising the city?
