Sabatini set himself to retell famous and bizarre episodes strictly from the surviving records, but with a novelist’s colour. Here are the murders of David Rizzio and Lord Darnley, Antonio Pérez’s duel with Philip II, the trial of Lady Alice Lisle, the Saint Bartholomew massacre, the poison affair around Madame de Montespan and the Diamond Necklace scandal.
True history told with the pace of Scaramouche, ideal for readers who want the facts and the drama together. Download the free EPUB.
