Produktbeschreibung

The Eighth Prisoner, the first in the Bastille Mysteries series, is set in Paris, summer 1789.
A desperate husband follows his unfaithful wife and has his throat slit as a result. The consequences force together two very different characters: cynical, ambitious Inspector Rouget Maison and dedicated, rather world-weary, Abbé Pierre Reynard.
They first meet at the storming of the Bastille - the start of the French Revolution. Its seven prisoners have just been liberated when the bodies of two young women are also discovered in the cells.
One of them turns out to have held a great many secrets including an extremely compromising letter with details of a conspiracy at the very highest level.
Over a tumultuous summer, Maison and Reynard form an uneasy alliance to try to unmask the murderers and thwart the conspiracy.
Matters come to a head in October at the Women's March on Versailles. The stakes could not be higher....

Autorenporträt

I'm Ian Honeysett and I write historical crime fiction with an old college friend, Pete Stevens, with whom I wrote a number of comedy reviews when we were students at the Kent College for the Careers Service. Pete tells me we agreed that, when we retired, we would write books together. And that is what we have done. We share a love of history and murder (purely theoretical of course). Together we have written 4 historical novels set during the French Revolution and I've written a free novella (The Odd Fellow). I am also part of Godalming Writers' Group, based in my home-town of Godalming (Surrey, England) which has produced 2 books of short stories: Godalming Tales 1 & 2.
I am married to Jan. We have 3 children and live in Godalming, Surrey. My interests include travelling (well, I am retired), running quizzes, military history, parish work, editing a newsletter for laryngectomees, painting and playing the ukulele.
