The Madwoman of Melun & Other Plays of Murder & Mayhem - Paperback
by Jules Dornay (Author), Xavier Montepin (Author), Frank J. Morlock (Adapted by)
Frank J. Morlock has assembled here three new lurid plays of gruesome murder and deadly mayhem:
In THE POLICE AGENT (1889) by Xavier de Montepin & Jules Dornay, a double murder at the notorious Père Lachaise cemetery brings Aimée Joubert, a famous police agent once known as The Cat's Eye, out of retirement. But catching the murderer may involve looking closer to home than she might have wished...
THE MADWOMAN OF MELUN (1891), by the same authors, begins with an innocent man framed for murder being guillotined, driving a woman amongst the spectators to madness. What secret does she know, and who amongst her coterie of wealthy friends, may be the real murderer?
Finally, ZIZI (1914), by Jules Mary, is about two brothers, one good, the other evil, who are both in love with the eponymous Zizi, a circus tiger tamer. The evil brother will stop at nothing to possess the object of his desire. Can he be thwarted in time?
