About The Devil on Horseback

With worldwide sales of over fifty-six million of her novels, Victoria Holt is one of the most popular romantic suspense novelists of all time. Anyone who enjoyed her novel, The Shadow of the Lynx , will be eager to devour another of her unforgettable tales. Enamored by the handsome and arrogant Charles-Auguste, a wealthy French aristocrat, eighteen-year-old Minella is drawn into a complicated world of danger, betrayal, and murder. Denying her own suspicion that he has murdered his wife, she struggles with her fascination for the seductive and mysterious count. Against the backdrop of the incipient French Revolution, Minella’s life becomes a series of adventures that all lead to an exciting and unexpected climax. Reminiscent of Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities , the historic setting and the powerful heroine captivate any reader who enjoys a book that is impossible to put down.
