It all begins innocently enough when the corpse of a London boxer
is discovered at sunrise on the Place de la Concorde in Paris. But
the man was reportedly seen in London only a couple of hours
earlier... A great English detective and France's leading
investigative reporter team up to solve a baffling mystery that
will ultimately take them to a network of vast caverns under Paris
inhabited by prehistoric monsters, waiting to be released... Jules
Lermina's Panic in Paris (1910) combines the tradition of utopian
fiction with both the scientific advances of the 19th century and
the pseudoscientific trappings of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's The Coming
Race (1871). It also features some intriguing anticipations of two
key works by Arthur Conan Doyle, prefiguring both The Lost World
(1912) and The Poison Belt (1913).
