2 Hours to Save the King

A Plot to Foil in the City or in the Groves of the Château - Versailles 1673: At the beginning of the Affair of the Poisons, one of the greatest criminal cases in French history. Louis XIV is shocked to learn that a large part of the Versailles court is involved. He becomes the target of an assassination attempt. Gabriel Nicolas de la Reynie, the first lieutenant general of police who notably invented public lighting and originated the term "police commissioner," is in charge of the investigation. Despite his tenacity, the mastermind was never unmasked! 8 suspects among the most prominent names in the kingdom: Françoise-Athénaïs de Mortemart de Rochechouart de Montespan, Philippe d’Orléans, Madame de Sévigné, the Man in the Iron Mask, the Prince of Condé, Olympe Mancini, Antonin de Lauzun, and the Grande Mademoiselle. Three centuries later, it is up to you to finally uncover the truth. Further Investigation "The interrogations follow one another, each revealing its share of astonishing revelations. When the name of Madame de Montespan is mentioned, La Reynie is bewildered. It was no longer the Affair of the Poisons, but that of the King. "La Reynie becomes aware of the extent of the conspiracy. "Versailles was the center of a network of poisoners far more significant than anything he had suspected. Until now. Even more dangerous, this conspiracy involved certain nobles from the king's own entourage." Could it extend beyond the Channel? An attempt to poison the king himself is uncovered. "The dreadful maneuver consisted of sprinkling a deadly poison on a petition intended for the sovereign."
