Used book – Sartine's Honor (Nicolas Le Floch #9), Jean-François Parot

1780. France, allied with the American Insurgents, struggles to finance the war against England. While facing the people's anger fueled by the queen's whims, Nicolas Le Floch is called to investigate the suspicious death of a former Comptroller General of the Navy. Crime or accident? One thing is certain: the king is taking a keen interest in the case. An ill omen, indeed.

"True to himself and his hero, former ambassador Jean-François Parot once again delights lovers of Paris and Versailles in the Age of Enlightenment."

Isabelle Marchand, Pèlerin Magazine
