Dominic Lagan

Live Free or Die Paperback Dominic Lagan 1st edition

Did Louis XVII, the boy king of France, really die a miserable death, neglected and starved in the infamous Temple prison cell as Robesepierre planned; or did he escape with the help of British intelligence? Dominic Lagan finally solves the two hundred year old mystery of what happened to Marie Antoinette's little boy, who inherited the the throne of France after his father was murdered by the mob. Lagan's exciting thriller begins with the legendary Marquis de Born being sent in secret to Paris by William Pitt to rescue the boy from his grim fortress gaol. Based on the historical record, Lagan captures all the tragic violence, anarchy, madness and suffering that was the French Revolution.
