The story opens with a sensational crime in Paris involving a murder that takes place at the Obelisk, which draws attention from the public and the police. The narrative introduces the main character, Bobby, a British detective who is determined to uncover the truth about the mysteriously found body, believed to be that of an English boxer named Coxward. At the start of the narrative, chaos erupts in Paris with the discovery of a man's body impaled on the spikes of a fence near the Obelisk. Various characters, including police officers and curious onlookers, grapple with the horrifying implications of the death. Bobby, who is introduced as an eccentric but competent investigator, becomes involved in the case and is confronted with the pressing question of the identity of the deceased and the circumstances surrounding the murder.
