The mysterious case of the kidnapping, during the First Empire, of a senator warned of the plot planned by Fouché against Napoleon Bonaparte. A book in which Balzac puts his novelistic talent at the service of a political and detective intrigue. Historical characters such as Michu, the faithful among the faithful, or the intrepid Laurence de Cinq-Cygne, in love in equal parts with her twin cousins.
