About this ebook
On the sun-drenched Riviera, where the rich and powerful gather to indulge in luxury and leisure, a shadow lurks beneath the glimmering surface. A notorious thief, known only as The Black Spider, has embarked on a spree of audacious heists, targeting the glittering jewels of Europe’s elite.
Having evaded all the layers of security, bypassing guards, alarms, and locks, without leaving any sign of forced entry or exit, the Spider leaves behind a calling card: a crude drawing of a black spider, taunting his victims and the authorities alike.
Enter Reginald Cosway, a shrewd and relentless detective who is determined to unmask the Spider and bring an end to the reign of terror gripping the Riviera. As the Spider continues to strike with impunity, Cosway is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse, where every move could be his last.
First published in 1911, Carlton Dawe’s thrilling novel was subsequently adapted for both the stage and big screen.
