À propos de cet e-book

Fantômas strikes again in this third installment in the intoxicating crime series

On Rue Norvins, the police find a famous heiress poisoned to death in the studio of a ceramics painter. The artist, in a state of partial paralysis, remembers nothing. These bare and baffling facts will lead newspaperman Jérôme Fandor from the magnificent ballrooms of the aristocracy to the scrubby pubs of the Parisian underworld as his search for the truth uncovers ruined fortunes, desperate suicides, mistaken identities, and even romance.

Never far from such evil and outrageous doings is a villain so mysterious, so extraordinary, so clever and cruel that he can only have one name: Fantômas!

Introduced in 1911, the archvillain was an immediate sensation, popular in pulp magazines, books, and silent serials. Allain and Souvestre wrote thirty-two books in the series together. After his cocreator’s death, Allain continued the exploits of Fantômas in eleven more novels.
