A Tale of Two Murders: Passion and Power in Seventeenth-Century France

The 'Giroux affair' was a maelstrom of intrigue, encompassing daggers, poison, adultery, arch-enemies, servants and royalty, and legal proceedings that reached to the pinnacle of seventeenth-century French society. This book reveals the Giroux affair as not only a riveting murder mystery but also a point of entry into the dynamics of power.
