Fantomas
FantOmas was introduced a few years after Ars�ne Lupin, another well-known thief. But whereas Lupin draws the line at murder, Fant�mas has no such qualms and is shown as a sociopath who enjoys killing in a sadistic fashion.He is totally ruthless, gives no mercy, and is loyal to none, not even his own children. He is a master of disguise, always appearing under an assumed identity, often that of a person whom he has murdered. Fant�mas makes use of bizarre and improbable techniques in his crimes, such as plague-infested rats, giant snakes, and rooms that fill with sand.Pierre Souvestre (June 1, 1874-February 26, 1914) was a French lawyer, journalist, writer and organizer of motor races. ...

One of the most popular characters in the history of French crime fiction, Fantomas was created in 1911 and appeared in a total of 32 volumes written by the two collaborators, then a subsequent 11 volumes written by Allain alone after Souvestre's death. The character was also the basis of various film, television, and comic book adaptations. His importance in the history of crime fiction cannot be overestimated, as he represents a transition from Gothic novel villains of the 1800s, to modern-day serial killers. "In the mode reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes and his ineradicable nemesis, the virtually immortal Professor Moriarty, Inspector Juve dedicates himself to the relentless pursuit of that evil genius Fantomas. He is, as they say in petrified Paris, "Nothing. . . Everything. . . Nobody. . . Somebody." And what does he do? He "spreads terror," diabolically, craftily beyond all imagining: slashes throats of kindly old ladies; stuffs strangled British socialites into trunks; boldly robs Russian princesses in their hotel rooms; pushes witnesses off speeding trains to their deaths. Can Juve prevail against that hellish power?" --Publishers Weekly
Fantômas
"Fantomas" is a novel by French writers Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre. Since the novel's creation, Fantomas is one of the most popular characters in the history of French crime fiction. Fantomas is a ruthless and elusive criminal genius who can get away with his evil deeds by impersonating anyone. He is a master of disguise, always appearing under an assumed identity, often that of a person he murdered. His manners of killing are unusual: he may use plague-infested rats, giant snakes, and rooms that fill with sand.
The Exploits of Juve
A more than worthy sequel to "Fantomas", this second volume in the series is if anything more colorful and outlandish than its predecessor. The redoubtable Inspector Juve, again aided by his sidekick Fandor the journalist, gets drawn into the Paris underworld by a series of mysterious crimes -- a daring robbery, a deliberate train derailment, an attempted murder in a Hospital -- and inevitably, as he pursues the disparate clues and desperate characters involved, he finds himself again drawn into the orbit of his nemesis, the fiendish, shape-shifting Fantomas. There are some head spinning plot twists and contrivances in this sequel, and ensuing revelations which this reader, at least, guessed at well before their appearance in the plot...but despite this, the feverishly paced narrative effortlessly carried me along. Then, just as it appears all has been explained, the mysteries unraveled, and the titular villain is on the verge of capture, the plot lurches into a wild denouement that is sure to raise any reader's heart rate as it races to its explosive, cliff-hanging finish.
