Storyline

Robespierrre, a powerful figure in the French Revolution, is desperately looking for his black book, a death list of those marked for the guillotine and his key to the French dictatorship. It would mean his death if it fell into the wrong hands. He hopes that his agents will recover it, but if it falls in to the wrong hands, it would mean his ruin. Written by duke1029@aol.com

Quotes

Maximilian Robespierre: There's a man in Strasbourg who isn't afraid of anything. A man named Duval.
Fouché: Duval?
Maximilian Robespierre: You know him?
Fouché: No, but I know his record. Five hundred executions in a single month. That's almost as good as yours, Max.
Maximilian Robespierre: I've sent for Duval. He arrives at the Blue Goose Inn tonight. You go there and bring him to the bakery. I'll meet him there.
Fouché: How will I know him?
Maximilian Robespierre: As one snake to another. You'll smell each other out.
