#1 International Bestseller
Lucas Corso is a book detective, a mercenary hired to hunt down rare editions
for wealthy and unscrupulous clients. When a well-known bibliophile is found
hanged, leaving behind part of the original manuscript of Alexandre Dumas's
The Three Musketeers, Corso is brought in to authenticate the fragment. He
is soon drawn into a swirling plot involving devil worship, occult practices,
and swashbuckling derring-do among a cast of characters bearing a suspicious
resemblance to those of Dumas's masterpiece. Aided by a mysterious beauty
named after a Conan Doyle heroine, Corso travels from Madrid to Toledo to
Paris in pursuit of a sinister and seemingly omniscient killer.

Part mystery, part puzzle, part witty intertextual game, The Club Dumas is
a wholly original intellectual thriller by the author of The Flanders Panel
and The Seville Communion.

Made into a Roman Polanski movie "The Ninth Gate" with Johnny Depp and
Emmanuelle Seigner.
