Paris, by night. They pulled a dead man out of the Seine. By morning he had a pulse - and by the week's end, the gang that found him answered to him.
After his duel to the death with Countess Vasilika, the world believes Rocambole is gone. Instead he is dragged, unconscious and half-drowned, from the river by the Ravageurs - a pack of riverside thieves ruled by a brutal, idle chief called the Pastrycook, a man whose values could not sit further from the reformed criminal's. As Rocambole claws his way back to life, his sheer presence begins to unseat the Pastrycook and bend the gang to a better purpose. But saving a den of cutthroats is only the threshold: in the middle of a robbery, Rocambole learns that a secret sect is stealing young women out of Europe to ship them east - and the penitent master has found his next war.
For readers who love a master of disguise on the side of the angels - the gentleman-thief spirit of Arsène Lupin, the long game of The Count of Monte Cristo.
Newly translated by Sofia E.V. Hamett from Ponson du Terrail's original serials, this edition is written in the natural English of a modern thriller: faithful to the plot, the characters and the events, and alive on the page for today's reader. Complete and unabridged.
Part I of Rocambole's Last Word - the story continues in Part II. New to the saga? It begins in Book One, The Mysterious Inheritance.
