9781606530665: When Beggars Die

Inhaltsangabe

Allen's detective, Gerard de Montclaire, is nicely finessed into both literary and political history. When Beggars Die, first in the author's detective series, tackles murder, intrigue, and a nefarious plot against King Edward VII of England. Marie Collot is dead, and above her lifeless form stands the King of England. The author breathes visceral life into the dark alleys of working class Paris, as well as the extravagant salons of the aristocrats of 1903.
