Who is the Baron de Saint-Magloire? Coming from nowhere, he has
quickly become the most prominent banker in Paris. Ministers and
generals flock to his parties, and he has no equal when it comes to
amassing money through speculations. But what is his relationship
with Macaron, the dreaded anarchist, and Professor Sokoloff, a
genius who has found a way to make gold? From Devil's Island to the
City of Light, by ways of the South American wilderness and
Chelsea, this is the tale of the irresistible rise and fall of the
charismatic Rozen, the first and greatest villain of the Belle
Epoque... After an adventurous youth, Marie-Francois Goron
(1847-1933) joined the police and rose to the rank of Head of the
notorious Surete, distinguishing himself in various cases which
inspired him to write his Memoirs. His childhood friend, Emile
Gautier (1853-1937), after joining the anarchist movement and being
imprisoned, became one of the most popular science writers of his
time. Together, they imagined this amazing saga, the ancestor of
today's techno-thrillers and forensic detective fiction.
