To save an innocent, the man who conquered his own darkness must walk straight back into it, perhaps for the last time.The Countess Vasilika Wasserenoff does not forgive. Beaten and humiliated, she strikes at the softest target she can find: she kidnaps a child to draw Rocambole into a final, personal war. A man who had made peace with his past - even, in his despair, considered ending it - finds one reason left to fight, and throws himself into a last rescue against an enemy as ruthless and inventive as he once was.

When the smoke clears, one of them will not walk away - and even those who loved him best will not agree on whether Rocambole survived.For readers who love a master of disguise on the side of the angels - the gentleman-thief spirit of Arsène Lupin, the long game of The Count of Monte Cristo.Newly translated by Sofia E.V.
