Night Workers publishes lost popular fiction in fresh, modern English. This book is part of our ongoing series bringing the Rocambole adventures - among the most widely read thrillers of nineteenth-century Europe - to readers who have never had them in English before.
The Rocambole saga first appeared as a newspaper serial in Paris in 1857. Its hero - a criminal turned avenger whose schemes were so audacious that his name gave French a word, rocambolesque, for the wildly improbable - kept readers hooked from instalment to instalment, much as audiences today follow a long-running series. These translations are based on the original public-domain serials by Ponson du Terrail.

These translations are based on the original public-domain serials by Ponson du Terrail.
The final part of Rocambole's Last Word, and the most unusual in the whole saga. Here the storyteller himself steps forward, tracing the true fate of Rocambole from a convict hulk at Brest to the newsrooms of Paris and a last, tantalising letter from Newgate. Old enemies resurface, the Knaves of Hearts leave their calling card once more, and the great rogue's story is brought - for now - to its close.
Our aim throughout is readability. Rather than reproduce the clipped, one-sentence-per-line style of the original serial, Sofia E.V. Hamett has rendered these novels into the natural English of a modern thriller: faithful to the plot, the characters and the events, but written to feel alive to a reader today. Nothing has been abridged.
This concludes Rocambole's Last Word, the sixth novel of the saga.
