The Officer's Prey

AUTHOR’S NOTE

The detective plot of this novel (characters and situations) is purely imaginary.

The 9th Infantry Regiment of the Line was in fact commanded by Colonel de Vautré; the 35th Infantry Regiment of the Line by Colonel Penant; and the 3rd Italian Infantry Regiment of the Line by Colonel Lévie. General Huard had only one aide-de-camp, Captain Cogniard.

Any similarity between the fictional characters of this novel and people who really existed is entirely accidental.
