Fantômas by Marcel Allain,Pierre Souvestre,Cranstoun Metcalfe,Robin Walz
A noblewoman is hacked to death, a Russian princess is boldly robbed, a lord's lifeless body is found in a trunk. It is the work of Fantômas, a master of disguise whose diabolical crimes paralyze Parisians with terror. The first volume in a series of wildly popular French thrillers, Fantômas stands as the original pulp fiction. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Brentano's, New York, 1915.
