The One Thing More By Anne Perry

From Back Cover

Tonight they were returning their verdict, each emerging from the
shadows to climb the rostrum for his moment in history. Celie watched
the man who stood on the rostrum now, the candlelight shining on his
face as he stared out at the packed room, exhausted after hours of
argument. He said only the one word, "Death'. IT IS JANUARY 1793, and
the new leaders of revolutionar . France have just sentenced Louis XVI
to death. The public believes justice will be done, but, in Paris, a
small group of people fears for the future.

Celie's life has changed beyond recognition since the Revolution began.
Reduced to working as laundress for the secretive Monsieur Bernave, she
is inspired by his conviction that rescuing the king from the scaffold
is the only way to say their beloved country. But just four days
before the execution Bernave is murdered. Now Celie and the fugitive
she is protecting must risk everything to piece together his plan under
the watchful eyes of the revolutionary guard, and in the shadow of
Madame Guillotine.
