Chapel Noir

1 About this book

"The story thrusts readers into one of the darkest periods of criminal fact and fiction when two courtesans are found brutally slaughtered in the lavish boudoir of a Paris house that dare not speak its name. No woman should ever see such horrors, authorities declare, but a powerful sponsor has insisted that Irene investigate the case, along with her faithful companion, sheltered parson's daughter Penelope Huxleigh.

Yet does anyone really seek the truth, or do they wish only to bury it with the dead women?"

Good for readers who want: historical fiction, Sherlock Holmes, and a long read.
