The Black Tower

The Black Tower

From Louis Bayard, the acclaimed author of <em>Mr. Timothy</em> and <em>The Pale Blue Eye,</em> comes <em>The Black Tower, </em>a stunning and pitch-perfect novel featuring the real-life criminal who transformed himself into the world’s first and greatest detective. In <em>The Black Tower,</em> Bayard deftly interweaves political intrigue, epic treachery, cover-ups, and conspiracies into a gripping portrait of family redemption—and brings to life an indelible portrait of the mighty and profane Eugène François Vidocq, history’s legendary investigator.
