The Adventures Of Marius Pegomas, Marseille Detective

Pierre Yrondy, the author of The Adventures of ThErEse Arnaud of the French Secret Service, penned those of Marius PEgomas, Marseille Detective, serialized in 35 installments published in 1936. Six of these are being translated here for the first time. Marius PEgomas is one of the first "regional detectives" and, physically, bears some resemblance to Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot. He is a portly, yet remarkably fit, crime-solver whose talents prove invaluable to local Police Commissioner Santelli. In this collection, with the help of hisfiancEe, the pretty Flora Minuscule, Marius PEgomas tackles to the villainous Gangsters of La Joliette, an Opium-dealing ring and a female child trafficker nicknamed the "Ogress" of the CanebiEre. Yrondy's style is characterized by staccato-delivered sentences, sprinkled with local slang, which give the stories a sense of immediacy and realism.
