Historical
The Reign of Terror has ended six years earlier, and NapolΓ©on Bonaparte has seized power, but shifting political loyalties still tear apart families and lovers. On Christmas Eve 1800, a bomb explores along Bonaparteβs route, narrowly missing him but striking dozens of bystanders. Chief Inspector Roch Miquel, a young policeman with a bright future and a beautiful mistress, must arrest the assassins before they attack again. Complicating Miquelβs investigation are the maneuverings of his superior, the redoubtable FouchΓ©, the indiscretions of his own father, a former Jacobin, and two intriguing women.
