The Queen's Necklace by Alexandre Dumas
Set in the years before the French Revolution, the novel dramatizes the infamous Affair of the Diamond Necklace in which a resourceful con woman and her accomplices trick a gullible cardinal into believing the queen favors him, using forged letters and staged meetings to obtain an extravagant jewel; the ensuing scandal, trial, and public outrage expose corruption, ruin reputations, and help inflame the social tensions that lead toward revolution.
