October 1761 finds the newly-promoted Commissioner Le Floch on duty at a Royal performance of Rameau's latest work. Events take a dramatic turn and Nicolas is soon embarked on his second major investigation when the body of a prominent courtier's son is found. The initial evidence points to suicide, but Le Floch's instincts tell him he is dealing with murder of the most gruesome kind.

Recensioner i media

'It's the superb Parisian detail and atmosphere that truly beguiles' Sunday Times 'Reads like a cross between a Maigret mystery and Les Liaisons Dangereuses' Mail on Sunday Praise for Jean-Franois Parot 'A terrific book ... brilliantly evokes the casual brutality of life in eighteenth-century France' Sunday Times 'As historical mysteries go, Victorian England has its charms; but dirty, pestilential 18th-century France really promises a walk on the wild side. Jean-Franois Parot delivers on that pledge with gusto' New York Times 'Has all the twists, turns and surprises the genre demands' Independent on Sunday 'Parot succeeds brilliantly in the reconstruction of of pre-revolutionary Paris' Times 'An engaging murder mystery that picks away at the delicate power balance between king, police and state' Financial Times 'The outstanding attention to historical detail and a writing style that is vaguely reminiscent of its 18th century time period sets this book apart from many in the genre' Portland Book Review
