Paris is hungry, restless, and fearful in the autumn of
1793, and the guillotine’s blade is beginning to fall daily
on the necks of enemies of the French Republic. Not even
members of the republican government are safe from the
threat of the Revolutionary Tribunal, where the only
sentence for the guilty is death.
In this atmosphere of distrust and anxiety, police agent
Aristide Ravel must stop a ruthless killer who is
terrorizing the city. Ravel soon learns, however, that
hunting a murderer who strikes at random and leaves headless
corpses on the streets, paralleling the ever more numerous
victims of the guillotine, is a task that will lead him to
dark, painful secrets and echoes from an even darker past.
