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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHolly Tucker\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eCity of Light, City of Poison\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBlood Work\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize and the \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e Book of the Year, and is a professor of French at Vanderbilt University.
