Chantecoq and Wilhelm's Spy

The Enemy Within

De: Arthur Bernède

Narrado por: Andrew Lawston

Europe, Summer 1914. The brink of war.

The noble Lieutenant Vallier stands accused of murdering his superior, Colonel Richard, and of high treason against France. Facing a court martial and the firing squad, only four people believe him: the genius inventor Jean Aubry, his heroic daughter Germaine, the intrepid test pilot Maurice Evrard, and Yvonne Richard, daughter of the murdered hero, and the dashing lieutenant's young love.

But as the evidence builds against Vallier, his allies begin to doubt him. Only one man can clear Vallier's name. Only one man can uncover the network of German spies working to capture the formula for Explosive Z. Only one man can save France.

Chantecoq. King of detectives. Master of disguise.

But Chantecoq has disappeared.

Far from his friends, surrounded by his bitterest enemies, and reduced to a pawn by political intrigues, the king of detectives must play a deadly game of cat and mouse in order to survive the machinations of... Wilhelm's Spy.

Can Chantecoq save the day?

First serialised in Le Petit Parisien from November 1914 to April 1915 and never before translated into English, Arthur Bernède's sequel to the classic Chantecoq and the Aubry Affair is a sweeping epic, showing Europe's great powers on the very brink of war. A bold tale of honour, patriotism, romance, and selfless heroism, which continues the story of Chantecoq's allies and adversaries.
