FLOUR BLOOD
By Jean-François Parot
Le sang des farines
The Commissioner of Chatelet once again braves danger, perilous traps and personal hardships before solving this new extraordinary investigation that takes him from the Paris of the Enlightenment across Europe.
Criticism of Turgot's reforms is rising and Nicolas Le Floch is quickly dispatched on mission toVienna. There, weaving his way through tricky Austrian diplomacy and sidestepping the shrewd schemings of an Abbot of the court, the most unexpected discoveries concerning the security breaches in the King's court await him.
Upon returning to a Versailles ravaged by the Flour Wars, he begins investigating the enigmatic death of a baker while confronting the rumours of a plot against the King. What could possibly link the events in Vienna with those in Versailles?
Diplomat and historian, Jean-François Parot has invented a character who takes us very close to the reality of court intrigue and street life of 18th century Paris. Flour Blood is the 6th volume of the series starrring Nicolas Le Floch: L'énigme des blanc-manteaux, L'homme au ventre de plomb, Le Fantome de la rue royale, L'affaire Nicolas Le Floch and Le crime de l'Hôtel de Saint-Florentin.
