Abstract:
Paris, 1572
Monday 18 August, before the Notre-Dame de Paris, Henri de Navarre is preparing to take to wife the Princess Marguerite de Valois, sister of the King of France.

Louise is convinced that this is a murder, a crime that is linked to a sinister plot, hatched in the same corridors of the Louvre. Helped by his young servant Perdicault, Louise will try to unmask the killer. But the Court, the climate is detestable, and she is drawn into a vortex of intrigue. Really wants Catherine de Medici? Rene, the perfumer to the Queen, is he a poisoner? Who wants to get rid of the Admiral de Coligny, a Huguenot leaders? So many questions that Louise will try to answer, but as they approached the end, it will be overtaken by history. One night, the bells of Paris ring at random. We are at the dawn of August 24, and Paris is preparing to celebrate Saint Barthelemy ...
