A fortune. An orphan who has no idea she's an heiress. And an aunt who will hand her to a death-cult before she gives up a single coin.
The girl at the heart of the hunt is Anna Blessingfort, raised as a penniless Bohemian, in truth the heiress to a great fortune — one stolen from her by her own aunt, the cold and beautiful woman known only as Milady, mistress of the Thug chief himself. To save Anna, Rocambole must do more than fight off stranglers in the dark: he must prove the girl's true birth, wrench her inheritance back from the woman who buried it, and outplay an enemy who has crime in Paris, London and the Orient at her command. Blood and money have always run together in this saga — never more dangerously than here.
For readers who love a master of disguise on the side of the angels — the gentleman-thief spirit of Arsène Lupin, the long game of The Count of Monte Cristo.
Newly translated by Sofia E.V. Hamett from Ponson du Terrail's original serials, this edition is written in the natural English of a modern thriller: faithful to the plot, the characters and the events, and alive on the page for today's reader. Complete and unabridged.
Part III of Rocambole's Last Word — the story continues in Part IV. New to the saga? It begins in Book One, The Mysterious Inheritance.
