<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning Answerlanders,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A patron is looking for our help:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can you help me identify a novel I read several years ago about Paris, France? It was a mystery. I can remember the principal places more than the plot or characters. Part of the plot took place at the Natural History Museum and in the
sewers under the city. The naturalist Lamarck was involved somehow. I'm usually pretty good at finding things but I'm stuck on this.
I probably read it more than 15 years ago , so maybe published 20 years ago.
The author is a scientist of some kind and
I think she might live in NYC.</p>
