Officer's Prey: a Quentin Margont Investigation - Softcover

Armand Cabasson's The Officer's Prey (translated by Michael Glencross) is set within Napoleon's doomed invasion of Russia in 1812. The French Army stops in a small Polish town, where a young woman is murdered in her bedroom. The killer must have been a senior officer because a sergeant was seen standing to attention and saluting him. Quentin Margont, a dashing captain, reduces the several hundred suspects to four colonels, and as he gets closer to the solution, and Napoleon's Army retreats, his own life is in danger. --The Times
