An unforgettable true story of friendship, loyalty and revenge. They were four boys who shared everything - the laughter and bruises of an impoverished upbringing in New York's West Side. Then one of their pranks misfired - a man nearly died and they were sent away to a reformatory school. Then they suffered the worst abuse the guards could inflict on them. They were forever scarred by their experiences. Eleven years later:two of them became killers for the mob. They met the ringleader of the guards who abused them - and shot him dead in front of several witnesses. No one thought they would see the outside of a prison again - but the four friends banded together once more and in one last, audacious stand brought their own vengeance to the courtroom.
A major new translation of a forgotten classic
Paris, 1793, the onset of the Terror. Brave Republican Maurice
rescues a mys-terious and beautiful woman from an angry mob and is
unknowingly drawn into a secret Royalist plot--a plot revolving
around the imprisoned Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, and her
enigmatic and fearless champion, the Knight of Maison-Rouge. Full
of surprising twists, breakneck adventure, conspiracies, swordplay,
romance, and heroism, "The Knight of Maison-Rouge" is an
exhilarating tale of selflessness, love, and honor under the shadow
of the guillotine. Dumas here is at the very height of his powers,
and with this first and only modern translation, readers can once
again ride with the Knight of Maison-Rouge.
