«De sang et d'or» is the historical mystery novel by Michèle Barrière, published by Jean-Claude Lattès in paperback (282 pages, in French).
In 1520, the court of Francis I prepares to sign peace with Henry VIII at the Field of the Cloth of Gold. In this tense climate, provisions disappear from the French side and strange deaths follow. Quentin du Mesnil, the king's steward, investigates and finds signs that Thomas More's Utopia inspires the plot.
Subtitled «roman noir», it is part of the series «Les enquêtes du maître d'hôtel de François Ier»; the previous novel is «Le Sang de l'hermine».
Recommended for readers of historical fiction with criminal intrigue and Renaissance courtly atmosphere.
