About the Book

Résumé Arigonde dit le Parisien, fric-Frac, le Caïd, le Bêcheur Palas n'a pas pires ennemis à Cayenne et il passerait de mauvais quarts d'heure sans la protection du dab du Pré, autrement dit le roi du bagne Chéri-Bibi. Celui-ci l'a pris en affection parce qu'il le sait injustement condamné et a décidé de l'aider à s'évader pour qu'il refasse sa vie. L'entreprise n'est pas de mince envergure, mais Chéri-Bibi en a réussi d'autres et Palas, alias Raoul de Saint-Dalmas, rejoindra sous le nom de Didier d'Haumont ceux qui défendent la France en guerre et se couvrira de gloire. Son honnêteté lui interdit d'épouser la jolie Françoise de la Boulays, mais les circonstances l'y poussent. La, page est-elle enfin tournée? Sur la Côte d'Azur où le couple se rend en voyage de noces, Palas reconnaît en un certain M. de Saynthine le terrible Arigonde. Ses amis l'accompagnent, prêt à exercer un fructueux chantage. Son passé le menace. Mais Chéri-Bibi est là aussi, qui veille en secret sur lui -tant et si bien que l'opération se hérisse de difficultés et rebondissements inattendus qui font de ce nouvel épisode des aventures de Chéri-Bibi un volume (chronologiquement le troisième) digne des précédents et dont Fatalitas ! (quatrième volume du cycle) apportera la conclusion.
About the Author: Gaston Leroux est un romancier français, né le 6 mai 1868 à Paris (10e arr.) et mort le 15 avril 1927 à Nice (Alpes-Maritimes). Il est surtout connu pour ses romans policiers empreints de fantastique. Biographie Gaston-Alfred-Louis Leroux grandit en Normandie et suit sa scolarité au collège d'Eu. Après avoir obtenu le baccalauréat de lettres au lycée de Caen, il s'installe à Paris en octobre 1886 et s'inscrit à la faculté de droit. Il devient avocat en 1890 et exerce cette profession jusqu'en 1893. Pour arrondir ses fins de mois, il écrit des comptes rendus de procès pour le journal L'Écho de Paris. Sa relation du procès d'Auguste Vaillant, auteur de l'attentat de la chambre des députés, tombe sous les yeux de Maurice Bunau-Varilla, directeur du journal Le Matin, qui propose à Leroux de devenir le chroniqueur judiciaire de ce quotidien, à l'époque le plus important de Paris. Leroux a ainsi l'occasion de suivre le procès de personnages qui auraient pu figurer dans ses romans, en particulier les anarchistes poseurs de bombes. À partir de 1901, devenu grand reporter, il effectue de nombreux voyages en France et à l'étranger, notamment en Espagne et au Maroc. Au Matin, il fait paraître en 1903 un feuilleton, Le Chercheur de trésors, qui paraît l'année suivante sous le titre La Double Vie de Théophraste Longuet. De juin 1904 à mars 1906, il est l'envoyé spécial permanent du Matin en Russie et assiste, à ce titre, aux sanglantes prémices de l'écroulement de l'empire des tsars. Son roman Le Mystère de la chambre jaune, chef-d'oeuvre d'ingéniosité qui inspirera les surréalistes, lui vaut le succès en 1908. Il continue à écrire des romans dans la même veine, Le Fantôme de l'Opéra en 1910, La Poupée sanglante en 1923 et la série des Chéri-Bibi à partir de 1913. Son dernier roman, Mister Flow, paraît en 1927.
