In 1793, Paris was the most dangerous city on earth, especially for aristocrats. The French Revolution was at its height and the period known as The Terror had begun, when whole families could be denounced and sent to the guillotine. Inspector Henri Berney of thePréfecture Secrète is a committed revolutionary whose task is to track down and arrest aristocrats, who are all considered the enemies of the people. When he has a passionate affair with a lawyer’s clerk, Marcel Lefevre, he does not realize his lover is actually the Count de Vallois, and that they are natural enemies. His duty should be clear.
