London, 1816. A mysterious criminal mastermind known as John Devil challenges the detective powers of Scotland Yard's chief superintendent Gregory Temple. A true literary event; this is the first time in fiction that the term "detective" was used. JOHN DEVIL, written in 1863, is the first procedural thriller in the history of modern literature.

From the Publisher
Written in 1861, John Devil will be of special interest to fans of detective stories, crime thrillers, classic mysteries, pulp literature and proto science-fiction. Paul Féval pioneered the modern crime thriller, creating here both the first police detective (Gregory Temple is the first Scotland Yard Detective in fiction) and the first arch-criminal (John Devil is a proto-Fantômas) in popular fiction. The book includes an authoritative introduction and historical notes by Brian Stableford.
