The Fowl in the Pot
Stanley J. Weyman · 1909 · Adventure, Historical
A recurring lost horseshoe leads Sully from a village trick to an alleged conspiracy against himself and Henry IV. A masked journey through rainy Paris, a black pot and a handful of ominous names turn a demand for one good joke into a royal investigation where context matters more than appearances.
