The Phantom of Rue Royale: Nicolas Le Floch Investigation #3 by Jean-Francois Parot
Paris is in mourning. At the firework display marking the Dauphin's marriage to Marie Antoinette, hundreds of people have been injured or crushed to death. Yet not all the victims died accidentally. The tragic incident on Place Louis XV yields a new case for Commissioner Le Floch when a strangled woman is found amongst the other corpses. The investigation takes him to the home of a furrier on Rue Royale where he must deal not just with its curious residents but also face the terrifying forces of the supernatural.
"'The Chatelet Apprentice is a terrific debut.. a novel that brilliantly evokes the casual brutality of life in eighteenth-century France' Sunday Times 'Reads like a cross between a Maigret mystery and Les Liaisons Dangereuses' Mail on Sunday 'An engaging murder mystery that picks away at the delicate power balance between king, police and state.' Financial Times"
Jean-Francois Parot is a diplomat and historian. The Nicholas Le Floch mysteries have been published to much acclaim in France.
