Locked in the Bastille is a young man known only as ‘Philippe’.  He does not know his real name, or what crime he has committed.  He only knows he is innocent.  When Aramis, one of the original Musketeers and now Bishop of Vannes, bribes his way into Philippe’s cell, he reveals the devastating truth of his identity – a secret that could destroy the King of France, Louis XIV.  While the cover of this edition shows the cast of the 1998 film, it is not a novelisation of the film, it is Dumas’ original story.
