Fantômas is one of the most popular characters in French crime fiction, and has served as the basis for numerous film, television, and comic book adaptations. The villain is a brilliant and sociopathic murderer, a master of disguise who kills with bizarre yet sadistic techniques.
In this, the first of forty-three novels to feature the character, a Marquise is brutally murdered, leaving her enamored as the main suspect. But the keen Inspector Juve recognizes similarities between this murder and two other recent crimes, and pledges his life to apprehending the mastermind behind them.
Together, Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre authored thirty-two Fantômas novels before Souvestre’s death. After Souvestre’s death, Allain went on to write eleven more titles featuring the character. They began writing the series at the request of a publisher who wanted to create a new monthly pulp magazine.
