The Spider and the Fly

A New British Thriller of Crime, Detection and Suspense!

Set in Paris before World War I, the story follows three intertwined lives: Phillipe de Ledocq, a resourceful safecracker who always escapes arrest; police chief Maubert, who is determined to put him behind bars; and Madeleine, the woman both men love. Just after Maubert finally captures Ledocq, the government releases the thief so he can steal secrets from the German embassy revealing the location of the Kaiser's secret agents. Madeleine's role in the scheme remains a key question.
