About this book
A crowd on the Pont-Neuf in the autumn of 1665 watches police stop a shut carriage. A cavalry captain, Gaudin de Sainte-Croix of the Tracy regiment, steps out, is shown a warrant signed by the minister of police and goes quietly to the Bastille, while the veiled woman in the carriage is allowed to drive off. Dumas then promises a fuller portrait of this man. The case belongs to the Marquise de Brinvilliers, a well-known scandal of seventeenth-century Paris.
