He specialized in 15th-century and early Tudor history. - ...

Instead, I found a man bleeding out in a Wyoming safehouse… and saving my life when the hit team came for us both. Now I’m on the run with the enemy. Every file I trusted is a lie.

Forty-three, divorced, and eating cold lo mein over the sink in my underwear. This was not the fresh start I had in mind.

Charles Baudelaire was a French poet whose work is described as combining an exoticism inherited from the Romantics with the Realism of other French writers of his time.
