520    Nicolas de La Reynie, appointed by Louis XIV as the first 
       police chief of Paris, pursues criminals through the 
       labyrinthine neighborhoods of the city, unearths a tightly
       knit cabal of poisoners, witches, and renegade priests, 
       and discovers that the distance between the quiet 
       backstabbing world of the king's court and the criminal 
       underground is disturbingly short. As he continues his 
       investigations, La Reynie suspects that Louis's mistresses
       are involved in many of the nefarious plots he has 
       uncovered, and he must decide just how far he will go to 
       protect his king. Tucker has crafted a gripping true-crime
       tale of deception and murder based on thousands of pages 
       of court transcripts and La Reynie's notebooks, letters, 
       and diaries.
