"In the mode reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes and his ineradicable nemesis, the virtually immortal Professor Moriarty, Inspector Juve dedicates himself to the relentless pursuit of that evil genius Fantomas.
He is, as they say in petrified Paris, "Nothing Everything Nobody Somebody." And what does he do. He "spreads terror," diabolically, craftily beyond all imagining: slashes 4/5(4).
