Description
Gladiators fought to the death in ancient Rome. The Holy Inquisition burned heretics at the stake and vast crowds turned out to watch. That sort of entertainment is banned today but don’t think it doesn’t still go on.
Monique Grimaud thought she would be selling magic crystals on a market stall. The job was amazingly well paid and would be fun while she waited to return to her regular job as a forensic scientist. Her colleagues were undercover agents, investigating the mysterious disappearance of young women at medieval pageants.
This year’s pageants were themed on Joan of Arc and based in France. Joan was burnt at the stake. That was worrying because there was a growing suspicion that the pageants had been infiltrated by psychopaths who liked to live out their fantasies by re-enacting horrific scenes from the past with agonising attention to detail.
Monique had no experience in undercover work and didn’t expect to get involved. But it was difficult to stand aside and do nothing as evidence of terrible cruelty and suffering became impossible to ignore.
