Synopsis: The author of
the cult bridge classic, Samurai Bridge, returns with another bridge novel,
this time set in 17th century France. Through the medium of fictional bridge
games, we see the politics and intrigue of the French court play out, and
follow Cardinal Richelieu's career as he becomes the queen's confidant and
the real power behind the throne. Again in MacKinnon's second novel, the
bridge is deftly woven into the everyday life of the culture we are
observing, so that it seems to take its natural place in the development of
character and events. Nobles rise and fall in court favor, fortunes are made
and lost, and life and death affairs are planned and executed, all between
the bids and plays of the most deadly and mannered bridge games imaginable
