Inhaltsangabe

Forty¿seven stab wounds. A Duke in flight. A monarchy on the brink. Paris, 1847. Duchess Fanny de Choiseul¿Praslin is found murdered in her bed, her body bearing the marks of a brutal attack. The prime suspect? Her husband - a Peer of France whose lineage stretches back six centuries. As Paris erupts in outrage, the monarchy realizes a public trial would expose the rot at the core of the ruling class. The official records insist the Duke died by suicide in prison.My family's records say he was at our dinner table in Nicaragua. The Scandal That Shook the Throne draws on fifteen years of genealogical research tracing my family's descent from the Pasquier and Praslin bloodlines. It reconstructs the most explosive criminal case of the July Monarchy - revealing how a Chancellor of France may have engineered the perfect cover¿up, allowing a guilty Duke to vanish into Central America. This is not just a retelling. It is a reclamation of history. Inside:The Lost History - Oral traditions preserved before William Walker's forces burned Granada's archives in 1856. The Conspiracy - The political machinery that chose dynasty over justice. The Scapegoat - Henriette Deluzy, the governess who lost everything to a Duke's obsession. Follow a high¿intensity journey from the gilded salons of Paris to the mountains of Nicaragua - where scandal becomes a weapon, innocence offers no protection, and the powerful have always known how to disappear.
