The first three thrilling adventures in the Duke de Richleau series.

In The Prisoner in the Mask we meet our eponymous hero, the Duke de Richleau. Why would a French aristocrat renounce his country and live in exile? The answer lies in the Paris of the 1890s; a world of superficial glamour but, under the surface, deep social and political strife.

Set in 1906, Vendetta in Spain is rife with rebellion and danger. Anarchism permeates every country in Europe, and not a night passes without groups of fanatics meeting in cellars to plot against the representatives of law and order. A rich novel packed with true history, subtle intrigue, sudden violence, terrorism, blackmail and suspense, alongside the bitter-sweet romance between gallant young de Richleau and the beautiful Condesa Gulia.

In The Second Seal the Duke de Richleau has an intriguing meeting with a beautiful woman - an incident that will lead to a series of desperate adventures with a Serbian, a secret, and a terrorist society. The capers culminate in the Battle of the Marne - the operation that shattered Germany's chance of victory.
Autorenporträt
Dennis Yates Wheatley (1897-1977) was an English author whose prolific output of stylish thrillers and occult novels made him one of the world's best-selling writers from the 1930s through the 1960s. His Gregory Sallust series was one of the main inspirations for Ian Fleming's James Bond stories.

Born in South London, he was the eldest of three children of an upper-middle-class family, the owners of Wheatley & Son of Mayfair, a wine business. He admitted to little aptitude for schooling, and was expelled from Dulwich College. Soon after his expulsion Wheatley became a British Merchant Navy officer cadet on the training ship HMS Worcester. During the Second World War, Wheatley was a member of the London Controlling Section, which secretly coordinated strategic military deception and cover plans. His literary talents gained him employment with planning staffs for the War Office. He wrote numerous papers for the War Office, including suggestions for dealing with a German invasion of Britain. During his life, he wrote more than 70 books which sold over 50 million copies.
