Next in the swashbuckling series featuring mystery-solving Musketeers. In a search for his apprentice's killer, Musketeer Porthos rallies his friends to discover who was responsible, pursuing the truth even as he puts his own life in danger.

New from 'a gifted writer' (VICTORIA THOMPSON) who brings mystery to 17th-century France. As the Four Musketeers race to save Porthos's servant from the gallows, they run afoul of Cardinal Richelieu, who is investigating a far more serious matter – a plot against the life of the king.
