The Poisoners - Softcover
Seventeenth century Paris is gripped by a series of gruesome murders - young and fashionable ladies suddenly become rich, dry-eyed widows. Then a chance remark at a dinner party puts the police on the track of a strange and deadly poison. The trail leads to a ring of Satanists, many of them high-ranking members of the French aristocracy. Behind the brilliant facade of Louis XIV's flamboyant court at Versailles, the Poisoners carry out their scandalous rituals: Black Masses in fetid cellars, macabre killings - even the sacrifice of new-born babies. The Sun King himself is in deadly danger, completely unaware that one of his mistresses may be furtively plotting his assassination...
