Ein großer König und sein charmanter Geheimagent: Henri Quatre und Pierre de Siorac vor den Toren von Paris Frankreich im Jahr 1588. Die Bartholomäusnacht liegt sechzehn Jahre zurück, aber noch immer ist Bürgerkrieg zwischen Hugenotten und Katholiken. Zwar liegt der Herzog von Guise, das Haupt der Katholischen Liga, nun erdolcht im Schloss von Blois. Doch schon im Jahr darauf wird auch der toleranzbereite König Heinrich III. von einem fanatischen Dominikanermönch ermordet. Ein Menschenleben gilt nicht viel in diesen Zeiten. Sein Nachfolger auf dem Thron ist der ganz und gar unhöfische, aber militärisch erfahrene, nach Knoblauch stinkende und die Mädchen des Landes vögelnde Henri aus Navarra. Doch Henri ist Hugenotte und damit König ohne Krone - denn seine Hauptstadt Paris hält die Liga besetzt. In diesem dramatischen Kontext agiert der liebenswerte, charmante Pierre de Siorac, Arzt von Beruf, Geheimagent aus Begabung. Aber allein mit der Verführung hoher Damen ist es diesmal nicht getan. Er braucht auch all seinen politischen Verstand, seinen Witz und höchstes diplomatisches Geschick, um bei den gefährlichen Missionen, mit denen Henri ihn beauftragt, am Leben zu bleiben - bis dieser nach vierjähriger Belagerung von Paris endlich in seine Stadt einziehen kann. Brillant wie kein zweiter Autor historischer Romane versteht es Robert Merle, profundes Wissen über die Zeit mit einer dichterischen Kühnheit und Eleganz zu verbinden, die in höchstem Maße unterhält.
