Dead Radical

Summer 1791 and, for two years now, Inspector- General Rouget Maison, head of the Paris police, has been fighting an unseen opponent, “The Mastermind”, or as he calls himself, “the True Patriot”. This ruthless, shadowy figure is dedicated to fighting everything the French Revolution stands for. He has considerable resources at his disposal and an extensive network of powerful people who share his views.Inspector-General Maison has also been hunting Eloise, an accomplished assassin. She has been working for the “True Patriot” but is now being hunted by him, and the police, after failing to kill some of the key names on his list of those who “really need to be removed”.The three-cornered pursuit comes to an explosive climax as the action switches from Paris, to London, to Marseilles and finally back to Paris again, leaving a trail of dead bodies in its wake. “Dead Radical” is a standalone novel but, to get the full Bastille effect, readers might wish to read the four books in the series in beginning with “The Eighth Prisoner”.
