One evening in November 1407, Louis of Orléans, brother of the mentally unstable King Charles VI of France, was brutally beaten and fatally stabbed in a Paris street by a group of masked attackers. This was no ordinary street crime. Louis had exercised significant influence during his brother's frequent periods of incapacity. With France still embroiled in the Hundred Years' War against England and facing serious internal threats to the monarchy, this murder had profound implications. To unravel the web of conspiracy, Guillaume de Tigonville, the head of Paris' law enforcement, had to navigate the layers of crime, corruption and high-level politics that permeated various layers of French society.
Jager took inspiration from de Tigonville's written account to create a suspenseful and exciting true-life detective story. De Tigonville embodies the quintessential detective, blessed with street smarts, steely determination and a commitment to seeking the truth, no matter who he steps on.
A remarkable detective story that also offers insightful insight into the opulent façade and darker underbelly of medieval Paris.
A vivid depiction of a distant era, /"BLOOD ROYAL/" is a gripping story of conspiracy, crime and an increasingly desperate quest for the truth. And in Guillaume de Tigonville, we meet an unforgettable detective for the ages, a classic investigator from a bygone cobblestone era.
