One of the seven wonders of the world is the Malaquis castle, which is located on the banks of the Seine. The castle's past is turbulent and severe like its outline, much like its name suggests.

Produktbeschreibung
One of the seven wonders of the world is the Malaquis castle, which is located on the banks of the Seine. The castle's past is turbulent and severe like its outline, much like its name suggests. Numerous battles, sieges, assaults, rapines, and massacres have taken place there. Even the strongest heart would shudder if the crimes that have been done there were listed. The Queen's Necklace was carried by the Countess of Dreux-Soubise. It was the fabled necklace that the court jewelers Bohmer and Bassenge had created for Madame Du Barry. With the assistance of their lover, Jeanne de Valois, Lupin and Rétaux de Villette split it apart in 1785. The lovely stones that Bohmer had picked with such care were strewn by the Count de la Motte and his wife to the four winds of heaven. Later, he sold the mounting to the Cardinal's nephew and heir, Gaston de Dreux-Soubise. The English jeweler Jeffreys repurchased the few diamonds that were still in his possession and added additional stones of far lower grade to them.
Autorenporträt
Maurice Leblanc was a French author who lived from 1864 to 1941 and was one of the first people to write mystery stories. He is best known for creating the famous character Ars ne Lupin, a smart and stylish gentleman thief who is often compared to Sherlock Holmes in France. The first Ars ne Lupin stories by Leblanc came out in the early 1900s and quickly became very popular thanks to their smart plots, wit, and likeable main character. In Leblanc's body of work, "The Teeth of the Tiger" stands out. This book is different from the Ars ne Lupin series. It's an exciting and suspenseful story set in the early days of World War I, when there is espionage and political intrigue going on. A story called "The Teeth of the Tiger" is about three friends who get caught up in a web of political plots, foreign espionage, and secret codes. Leblanc cleverly mixes mystery, adventure, and espionage to make a gripping story that shows how worried and uncertain people were during the war.
