About This Book

Située à la fin de l'été 1690, la nouvelle relate une affaire de calomnies et de séduction à la cour de Québec, où le gouverneur Frontenac reçoit des lettres anonymes et un bouquet mystérieux visant à semer la discorde entre lui et son épouse. Une veuve ambitieuse orchestre dénonciations et présents pour le compromettre et gagner sa faveur; Frontenac, partagé entre amour, honneur et prudence, mène une enquête discrète. Le récit mêle manœuvres sociales, rivalités personnelles et préoccupations politiques autour de la sauvegarde de l’autorité coloniale.
