關於產品

Product Information

In the late 1600s, Louis XIV assigns Nicolas de la Reynie to bring order to Paris after the brutal deaths of two magistrates. Reynie, pragmatic and fearless, discovers a network of witches, poisoners, and priests whose reach extends all the way to the king's court at Versailles. Based on court transcripts and Reynie's compulsive note-taking, Holly Tucker's engrossing 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 halls of royal palaces, secret courtrooms, and torture chambers.

City of Light, City of Poison conjures up 17th century Paris and makes it seem close to the present day., A fierce tale of conspiracy and retribution....

A genuinely illuminating study of a remarkably amoral moment in human history., Tucker walks the tightrope between scholarship and storytelling with practiced bravado. City of Light, City of Poison is as tightly structured as an Agatha Christie mystery., Tucker is a deft scene-setter, and there is an enjoyable whiff of The Untouchables about her evocation of the Parisian underworld, Louis XIV's decision to clamp down on it, and the entry of her hero, La Reynie....

Tucker tells the story as if it were a classic whodunit, bringing alive an extremely complicated and baffling series of events., Tucker . . . vividly brings to life a slice of Parisian history in [a] rigorously researched true-crime epic . . . [that] reads like a combination of the most compelling mystery fiction and Dumas's romances of twisted court intrigues., Tucker tells the story as if it were a classic whodunit, bringing alive an extremely complicated and baffling series of events.
