Paris - Softcover

Monet, Miles, Malcolm Maclaren, Matisse, Murder, the Mazerkinde, Mystery, Montoarnasse, Marie Antoinette, Martin Chuzzlewit, Ursule Mirouet, Masturbation - they are all in Paris, a novel that will move you, thrill you, take you back to the past and wonder if it is save to to turn off the light. Moving between real events, contemporary Paris and the Hundred Year’s War, Paris will make anyone want to revisit the jazz cafes in Montmartre, the Pere Lachaise cemetary and the gardens at Giverney - not that they need any publicity. It is a novel that touches the heart of love, and medieval horror, to weave together a story nobody who reads it will ever forget.
