A classic mystery originally published in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, April 1965.

A «Chief Inspector Damiot» mystery! <P> All the newspapers would be certain to make a big thing out of it tomorrow: Sadoyan escaping from a prison van in the courtyard of the Prefecture de Police. Young Officer Lorant was a fool to have turned his back even for a second, giving Sadoyan that instant he needed to bring the metal handcuffs down on his skull. <P> Now Chief Inspector Damiot of the French Police had to clean up the mess…

Mr. and Mrs. Benson were enjoying their cruise around the world, oblivious to the criminal types around them. After all, as Americans, they had nothing to worry about. Not even in Los Angeles, last stop before the Orient. Or did they?

A number of baffling cases confront the renowned Vidocq, chief of the famed Surete Nationale, and his loyal staff of reformed criminals that hot summer of 1823. There is the murder of the famous Parisian jeweler, and the murder of Maya, the Spanish whore, shot with the same gun – and systematic looting of treasures from the great chateaux by The Black Devil, and more. With a heady, rich nineteenth century atmosphere, this mystery is a keeper!
