Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 16, 2014
Long before CSI Miami, French detectives were formulating methods and means to solve crimes.  Duval is an invalided French soldier who joins the Security Service and applies himself to helping root out a terrorist plot against Napoleon (in his role as First Consul of the Republic).  Along  the way, he encounters historical figures and his bride-to-be.  McGrath brings the Paris of that era to life in all its grime and beauty.
