Napoleon’s police, called the "Infernal Machine" provide the reader with interesting characters and an intriguing plot. An assassination attempt against Napoleon fails, but kills many French citizens. An onlooker who became a witness also became a member of the police investigating the crime. By chance, he saw the bombers as they rushed from the scene, thus found himself not only a police agent investigating the bombing, but an eye-witness that produced apt depictions with the help of an artist. Police work without any touches of technology that we enjoy today was dull and tedious, but the tightly written story entertains. Thoroughly enjoyable.
