But Will's innovative vision did inspire a big idea that would set him apart: he turned numbers into pictures by creating line graphs, bar graphs and pie charts! Numbers...

Un vol et un braquage, une imposture liée à un héritage, la disparition d'une souris de laboratoire de plusieurs milliers de dollars, entre autres affaires, sont au coeur d'enquêtes menées par Maurice Manori, inspecteur de police, dit l'Agrapheur. Ce surnom, il le doit à ses méthodes aussi efficaces que non conventionnelles. Il dispose, en effet, d'un outil redoutable pour "agrapher" les coupables : la théorie des graphes. En quête de la...
