1794 is the second part of the historical noir trilogy by the award-winning Swede Niklas Natt och Dag, where the reader once again meets Jean Michael Cardell, Cecil Winge, and Anna Stina Knapp, as well as the corrupt world of the late 18th century, which were introduced to us in the first book of the series, the international best seller 1793. Stockholm will experience its darkest days as the masks fall and the brilliance of the old regime recedes in the face of the gloom hidden in the corners of the city.
