An Aristide Ravel Mystery
by Susanne Alleyn
A murdered man is found in a Parisian cemetery in 1786, where struggling writer Aristide Ravel recognizes the strange symbols surrounding the body to be Masonic.
"Starred Review. Alleyn expertly captures the politics and atmosphere of the period, seamlessly integrating them into a traditional whodunit plot." - Publishers Weekly
"An intriguing prequel to Ravel's revolutionary adventures (A Treasury of Regret, 2007, etc.) with a nice twist in the denouement." - Kirkus Reviews
"Combines the best in history and mystery." - The Historical Novels Review
"Starred Review. Known for her impeccable plotting and fully defined characters, Alleyn maintains her high standards here." - Library Journal
