A novel by Cheryl Sawyer
Return to France with another chilling murder mystery! Perfect for fans of Andrew Taylor, S. G. MacLean, Michael Jecks and Laura Shepherd-Robinson.
Who is behind the horrific murders…?
1735
When a dead body is found on the banks of the River Marne, Victor Constant, military policeman, is called in to file a report.
Victor discovers the victim is Marie Jouy, a young weaver, and it seems a sexual assault also took place.
His commander orders Victor to drop the case, as it falls outside of their jurisdiction.
But within days, another woman is killed and mutilated with the same bizarre cruelty — and Victor is put back on the hunt.
Victor enlists the help of his advisers — the brilliant free-thinkers Voltaire and Madame du Châtelet — but none can fathom the killer’s motives.
Can Victor stop the killer before more victims are discovered? How many other lives are at risk?
Is a deadly serial killer stalking the quiet French countryside…?
DEATH IN CHAMPAGNE is the second historical murder mystery in the Victor Constant Investigations Series: 18th-century crime thrillers set in the Champagne region of France.
