By Gaston Leroux.

Leroux followed his classic locked room masterpiece "The Mystery of the Yellow Room." with this book, suspense come horror story. “The soul of Cartouche, a brigand who attained notoriety under the Regency in France, and a man of a hundred murders, finds reincarnation in the body of M. Theophrastus Longuet, retired manufacturer of rubber stamps, resident in the suburbs of Paris.." —extracted from a review in The Nation, April 1912.
