Product Information

From Louis Bayard, the acclaimed author of Mr. Timothy and The Pale Blue Eye, comes The Black Tower, a stunning and pitch-perfect novel featuring the real-life criminal who transformed himself into the world's first and greatest detective. In The Black Tower, 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.

Top-notch historical fiction.

[Bayard] inbues(s) his characters with real soul. You may find yourself, more than two centuries after the fact, aching over the fate of the pitiful young Dauphin. A-, "Having previously channeled Dickens and Poe, historical novelist Bayard throws down the gauntlet to Dumas in another high-energy melodrama. The novel's witty succession of trapdoor endings, culminating in "the quietest of abdications," keeps surprising us. Who says they don't write 'em like this anymore? Long may Bayard reign.", Louis Bayard finds fictional inspiration in historical fact. He has emerged as a writer of historical thrillers in the vein of Caleb Carr, author of The Alienist, and 19th century writers such as Alexandre Dumas, author of The Count of Monte Christo., The Black Tower breathes life into the world's first police detective, Vidocq, a literary feat that happily waited for this novelist. As the gripping and nuanced story races through the parlor rooms and back alleys of Paris, Bayard shows why he is at the forefront of literary historical fiction today., Bayard is a fearlessly confident writer. We are treated to all of the narrative verve and sly wit-both plot twists and turns of phrase-that make his books such a pleasure to read., A compelling and sympathetic narrator instantly draws the reader into Bayard's stellar third historical.

Few writers today can match the author's skill in devising an intelligent thriller with heart., In the world of historical fiction, Louis Bayard is a master at blending history into intelligent thrillers., A fascinating detective story about one of the world's most compelling mysteries. Bayard's scholarly and beautiful, heart-stopping prose always keeps before us the possibility of an improbability - what mystery is all about., In addition to the many fine, quirky character portraits and the visceral depiction of a chaotic France still reeling under the regime change, Bayard offers a rip-roaring plot full of smart and funny turns., Louis Bayard repairs to Paris for another daring historical adventure. Bayard makes brilliant application of Vidocq in the fanciful adventure. No snatchandrun researcher, Bayard takes care to capture Vidocq's roguish voice and grandiose affectations., Bayard doesn't revisit the past so much as reinvent it, historically and literarily, with a great deal of style, wit and suspense. Dark, surprising and Bayard's best example so far of a lean and accessible historical thriller.

    Dumas Writes Again

    Louis Bayard has written a believable story around the possibility that the son of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI survived the French revolution and is hiding in the person of the not-very-smart countryman named Charles. The mystery is narrated by a young physician, Dr. Hector Carpentier, and includes the monumentally enjoyable character of Vidocq, a French Sherlock Holmes. Bayard does a terrific job of describing Restoration Paris, the setting for this novel. If you like historial mysteries, or the writings of Alexandre Dumas -- you will definitely enjoy this book.

    Exceptional historical mystery

    Bayard frontloads his novel with a bevy of quirky characters. The best is Inspector Vedocq who is cunning, amusing, swashbuckling, cultured and a former galley slave during the French Revolution. Now it's the restoration. The king is back and everyone is trying to forget about Marie Antoinette, Napoleon and their recent history. But what happened to Louis XVI's son and heir, the dauphin? Amidst wonderful dialogue the mystery unfolds and the plot quickly picks up steam until it's moving at breakneck speed. Sword fights, treachery and a poignant story about an ordinary man discovering his noble spirit in treating the dying son of a despot. Aside from the gripping story you pick up a fair amount of French history. Inspector Vedocq could support his own series of novels.
