Barrabas
Summary
In the shadowed corridors of Parisian finance, crusading attorney Jacques Varese and tenacious journalist Raoul de Nerac form an unlikely alliance to dismantle the empire of Rudolph Strelitz, a banker whose ledgers run red with organized crime. Strelitz operates behind gilded doors, orchestrating extortion and murder with chilling detachment while manipulating the city's elite. As Varese navigates legal labyrinths and Nerac pursues explosive revelations through underground printing presses, their investigation unravels a tapestry of corruption stretching from opium dens to high-society salons. The battle escalates through coded messages concealed in walking sticks, a climactic safe-cracking sequence revealing Strelitz's true ledger, and a final confrontation where justice proves more complex than mere arrest warrants in Feuillade's morally ambiguous universe.
