The Eighth Prisoner - Ian Honeysett

Paris. Early Summer, 1789. A desperate man stalks his faithless wife, but all he achieves is getting his own throat cut. This is the first of a series of murders as Paris explodes into the French Revolution. The Eighth Prisoner is a Standalone Historical Crime Thriller that proves murder and murderers are not surplus to requirements, even in the Age of Terror. Side by side with events such as the Storming of the Bastille and the Women's March on Versailles, a conspiracy weaves its way through French society at the highest and lowest levels. But who are the conspirators and what are their aims? Three very different people form an uneasy alliance. A cynical, possibly corrupt but brilliant Inspector of Police. A dedicated, but flawed Priest. And a Young Woman, coming of age as the world around her changes forever. Together they struggle against time and a ruthless hidden enemy, to solve an increasingly baffling series of murders.
