📱 eBook en inglés THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK

Colbert has an intense hatred for M. Fouquet, the kings superintendent of finances, and has resolved to use any means necessary to bring about his fall. With the new rank of intendant bestowed on him by Louis, Colbert succeeds in having two of Fouquets loyal friends tried and executed. He then brings to the kings attention that Fouquet is fortifying the island of Belle-Ile-en-Mer, and could possibly be planning to use it as a base for some military operation against the king.
Louis calls DArtagnan out of retirement and sends him to investigate the island, promising him a tremendous salary and his long-promised promotion to captain of the musketeers upon his return. At Belle-Isle, DArtagnan discovers that the engineer of the fortifications is, in fact, Porthos, now the Baron du Vallon, and thats not all.
The blueprints for the island, although in Porthoss handwriting, show evidence of another script that has been erased, that of Aramis. DArtagnan later discovers that Aramis has become the bishop of Vannes, which is, coincidentally, a parish belonging to M. Fouquet. Suspecting that DArtagnan has arrived on the kings behalf to investigate, Aramis tricks DArtagnan.
