Chantecoq and the Père-Lachaise Ghost

The Further Exploits of Chantecoq, Book 6

By: Arthur Bernède

Narrated by: Andrew K. Lawston

In 1920s Paris, the French king of detectives takes on a new batch of baffling cases in a series of traditional crime adventure thrillers.

Untold wealth and unbridled lust make a deadly combination!

When ruthless American billionaire Jack Sorett's advances are rejected by the beautiful but virtuous Countess Michèle de Préfailles, he wreaks the most callous vengeance on her and her husband.

Heartbroken and desperate, Michèle turns to the only person who can unravel the billionaire's schemes and prove her innocence....

Chantecoq. King of detectives, master of disguise.

This Chantecoq adventure is no billionaire romance, or supernatural mystery, but an intricate tale of family honour, intrigue, and deception. Can true love overcome the machinations of the super-rich?

First published in France in 1929 (as Le fantôme du Père Lachaise), and never before translated into English, this book is part of the Further Exploits of Chantecoq series, which sees the secret agent and expert spy catcher of Chantecoq and the Aubry Affair reborn as the greatest private detective of his age.
