John Strobbins is a bit like the hidden son of Fantomas and Arsène Lupin. He is a burglar, adventurer, vigilante, with enormous means, knowing how to disguise himself perfectly, having at his command a whole gang with ramifications all over the world and loving to taunt authority and, more precisely, the chief of the San Francisco police, James Mollescott - just as Fantomas did with Inspector Juve. More burglar and adventurer than detective, John Strobbins surfs on the successes of the time and navigates more in a world made of adventures, disguises and pursuits than the more purely police world that a "Sherlock Holmes" could offer, for example. Situated, certainly, on the wrong side of the fence, John Strobbins is nonetheless driven by a professional ethic and a moral code. Thief! Yes, but not a killer and, above all, if he relieves people of their property, he always chooses rich, detestable men of questionable honesty. At the same time, as soon as he can, he will render justice without forgetting, in passing, to line his pockets. #JoséMoselli #JohnStrobbins #Detective Novel AudioCite
