A carriage at the gate. A bell that rings twice. And the story starts again in the same second it stopped.
Alea has what she came to Paris for, and the men who gave it to her are paying. One is dead in everything but name. One is mad. One is a baronet who worships her and is beginning to understand what that costs. She suspects him of poison. She has hidden a doctor behind the curtain to find out.
Then the boulevards fall away.
Marseille, and the Canebière at first light. A brig running east under full sail. And finally Cyprus, and the Caverns of the Plague — galleries floored with three hundred years of human dust, sealed over a dead prophet's treasure that four families have been quarrelling over since before any of them were born. Some of them will reach it. Fewer will come back out.
This is the crueller half of the story, and the faster one. Alea gets everything she wants. Everyone who loves her is destroyed by it. And Tony — the assistant who sold his master for twenty thousand francs, the Judas this title has been pointing at from the first page — is still there at the end, still complaining, still owed.
The concluding volume of Les Fils de Judas, published in Paris in 1867 and never before translated into English. Complete and unabridged, in fresh modern English, with the author's own present-tense chapters at sea kept exactly as he wrote them.
Book Two of two — begin with The Sons of Judas, Book One: A Tale of the Thousand and One Nights. Part of Lost French Thrillers — the forgotten novels of Ponson du Terrail, translated by Sofia E. V. Hamett
