The Triumph of Eugene Valmont by Robert Barr

The Triumph of Eugene Valmont by Robert Barr

The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont (1906) is a collection of lively, enjoyable stories about a French detective resident in London. Whether dealing with a gang of anarchists in 'The Siamese Twin of a Bomb-Thrower' or flirting with the supernatural in 'The Ghost with the Club-Foot', the resourceful M. Valmont rarely loses his sang-froid and self-confidence. He may not always catch the criminal but his sense of style and Poirot-like conceit remain intact.

Born in Scotland, Robert Barr (1849-1912) went with his family to Canada as a small boy and began his career as a journalist. He returned to the UK in the early 1880s and became a well-known figure in literary London, a prolific writer of novels and short stories. In 1892 he was the co-founder, with Jerome K. Jerome, of The Idler. Barr, a friend of Conan Doyle, was also one of the earliest writers to produce a parody of a Sherlock Holmes story.
