In the late 1600s, Louis XIV assigns Nicolas de la Reynie to bring
order to the city of Paris after the brutal deaths of two
magistrates. Reynie, pragmatic yet fearless, tackles the dirty and
terrifying streets only to discover a tightly knit network of
witches, poisoners and priests whose reach extends all the way to
Versailles. As the chief investigates a growing number of deaths at
court, he learns that no one is safe from their deadly love potions
and "inheritance stews"-not even the Sun King himself. Based on
court transcripts and Reynie's compulsive note-taking, Holly
Tucker's riveting true crime narrative makes the characters breathe
on the page as she follows the police chief into the dark
labyrinths of crime-ridden Paris, the glorious halls of royal
palaces, secret courtrooms and torture chambers in a tale of
deception and murder that reads like fiction.
