Description
In Revolutionary France, a grisly murder threatens to derail an ambitious plan to save the condemned king
Celie Laurent stands in the convention hall of the French Republic, watching the deputies vote one by one. Most of them have just one word to say: “Death.” As the night wears on, the outcome of the vote moves beyond doubt, and Louis XVI is condemned to the guillotine. Celie will have just four days to save the king’s life.
As the Revolution reaches a fever pitch, Celie falls in with a group of royalists who are willing to do whatever it takes to keep France from killing its king. Their plan is daring, but just might work—until the group’s leader is murdered in cold blood. Somewhere among the royalists lies a traitor, and Celie and her friends must find him soon, lest they lose their heads before Louis loses his.

“Typical Anne Perry—just when you think you have it figured out, think again! . . . Her novels take you deeper than just the mystery at hand, to probe the characters’ reactions and the frailties of human nature.” —Mostly Murder
