Description
The Coral Thief by Rebecca Stott is a gripping historical thriller set in post-revolutionary Paris. A young medical student's life is turned upside down when his valuables, including precious coral specimens, are stolen from him.
In the fervent and tumultuous world of 1815 Paris, nothing is as it seems. As Daniel Connor tries to recover his lost possessions, he discovers that his adversary is a philosopher-thief living in a shadowy world of outlaws and émigrés.
As Daniel becomes embroiled in the Coral Thief's world, he finds himself drawn into a passionate love affair and a thrilling game of cat and mouse. With its vivid evocation of Paris and its exploration of revolutionary science, this book is an enthralling pacey read.
