About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Gustave Caillebotte, Claude Monet and Honoré Daumier. A ruined count, a wife who has ceased to matter to him, a mistress who intends to be a countess, and a baron who drinks in public and misses nothing. Gaboriau was a cavalry trooper and a lawyer's clerk before he created Monsieur Lecoq and, with him, the detective novel in France; this is the second half of a story about a family taken apart methodically, and the vengeance of the title is served cold and legally. Fifty-six plates by painters including Daumier and Caillebotte follow the novel's Paris and its river through crowded third-class carriages, balconies, and boats moored at Argenteuil.
