One question too many. A truth someone wants buried.
Le Registre des Ombres — Volume I will be published in French and English. The publication date of the English edition is to be confirmed. The English extract is a sample translation prepared for this website.
1786. Toulouse and the Pyrenees. Adrien de Veyrac, a viscount and administrator in Montclar, discovers an anomaly in the accounts of an old charitable institution: Saint-Lazare has been closed for four years, yet it is still spending money.
He asks a simple question: what has become of nine thousand livres? Two days later, he is removed from office. No specific accusation. No explanation.
What first seems a mere accounting irregularity draws Adrien into a tangled affair of power, money, loyalty and secrets. To understand why someone wanted him silenced, he must discover how certain truths become dangerous the moment anyone begins to look for them.
