- By (author) Nicolas Buat
"Au terme d'une prodigieuse enquete dans les archives judiciaires, Nicolas Buat demonte les engrenages de la machine infernale qui mene un notable a la destruction ou a l'autodestruction. Tout commence par une banale querelle de voisinage, a la campagne, autour d'un droit de peche. Derriere un titre enigmatique se cache une histoire rocambolesque que les talents de conteur de Nicolas Buat, archiviste paleographe, restituent avec facetie, ce qui n'enleve rien au serieux de la recherche historique. [...] Savoureux. Fonde sur des sources entierement inedites, entre quete litteraire et enquete policiaire, le livre nous entraine dans les coulisses du grand siecle, a Paris, Lyon, Rouen et sur differentes scenes, du chateau de Saint-Lubin-des-Joncherets, entre Normandie et pays chartrain, a la prison de Pierre-Scize.Nicolas Buat exhume les archives de la rocambolesque histoire de M. Vedeau de Grandmont."
