Jules Lermina (1839-1915), the author of Mysteryville, Panic in
Paris and To-Ho and the Gold Destroyers, was one of the most
interesting authors of French romans scientifiques in the latter
part of the 19th century. This collection includes The Nail (1870),
featuring a prodigious detective predating Sherlock Holmes by 20
years, the classic Burn This (1888), a novella in the vein of
Bulwer-Lytton and Talbot Mundy, in which a young Parisian gifted
with superhuman mental powers encounters a mysterious Hindu secret
society that has inherited the occult science of ancient Atlantis,
and the eponymous novella (1893), in which young Conrad Zippelius
receives a letter about a mysterious inheritance from a distant
relative, one that comes with a secret that could destroy the world
