[Red Matrix]

This title is the same as a novel by Charles Dickens!


In the novel, a man, learning he is to become the next Marquis St. Everemonde, is desparate to hide this information to his new father-in-law, a Briton who had been imprisoned by the man's uncle years before. Meanwhile, when he must return to Paris on matters of business, he is captured by the members of the French Revolution and sent to the guillotine. The man's life is spared by an aquaintance who takes his place at the guillotine, a British lawyer who bears an uncanny resemblance to the man.
