A Nest of Spies: Being the Fourth of the Series of the Fantomas Detective Tales (Volume 4) - Softcover
Synopsis
Captain Brocq, an officer of the Ministry of War, is assassinated while in possession of documents containing military secrets. The journalist Jerome Fandor, covering the story for La Capitale, seeks an interview with an associate of the murdered man, a diplomat called Baron Naarboveck. The reporter suspects spies employed by a foreign government, but Inspector Juve believes there is only one criminal who could be behind the tangled web of intrigue—the Genius of Evil himself, Fantômas!
“From the imaginative standpoint Fantômas is one of the richest works that exist.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire
“Absurd and magnificent lyricism.”
—Jean Cocteau

About the Author
Born in France September 15, 1885 Died on August 25, 1969 Genre: Literature & Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers Marcel Allain (1885-1970) was a French writer mostly remembered today for his co-creation with Pierre Souvestre of the fictional arch-villain and master criminal Fantômas. The son of a Parisian bourgeois family, Allain studied law before becoming a journalist. He then became the assistant of Souvestre, who was already a well-known figure in literary circles. In 1909, the two men published their first novel, Le Rour. Investigating Magistrate Germain Fuselier, later to become a recurring character in the Fantômas series, appears in the novel. Then, in February 1911, Allain and Souvestre embarked upon the Fantômas book series at the request of publisher Arthème Fayard, who wanted to create a new monthly pulp magazine. The success was immediate and lasting. After Souvestre’s death in February 1914, Allain continued the Fantômas saga alone, then launched several other series, such as Tigris, Fatala, Miss Téria and Férocias, but none garnered the same popularity as Fantômas
