Monsieur Law
Sequel to acclaimed Malice, in stores now!
France, the early 1700s: following the death of Louis XIV, the country is bankrupt, but into the court of the Regent there arrives a Scot called John Law, whose courage, combined with a brilliant financial intellect, briefly fires the whole country with a wild excitement which very nearly succeeds…
Combining sharp characterisation and historical fidelity, this is grand story-telling in the tradition of Wolf Hall.
“A witty, finely researched feat of the imagination. Compulsive reading.”– Colin Thubron on Malice
By LM Shakespeare, published by Austin Macauley
“... that stupendous game of Chance, played by an unknown man, and a foreigner at that, against a whole nation.”
“The fatal charm of England.”
