The Companions of the Treasure are none other than the members of the High Council of the Black Coats, more intent than ever on killing the seemingly immortal Colonel and stealing his treasure... Paul Féval, the father of the modern detective novel, engages in a bit of retroactive continuity by going over the Colonel's death scene already decribed in The Parisian Jungle, and showing us that there was, in fact, far more to it than we knew...

Les Compagnons du Trésor was published in 1870, but completed only after the war in 1872. It is the fifth in a series of crime novels describing the exploits of the Black Coats, the world's first international criminal organization.

Brian M. Stableford has been a professional writer since 1965. He has published more than 60 science fiction and fantasy novels, as well as several authoritative non-fiction books. He is also translating the works of Paul Féval and other French writers of the fantastique for Black Coat Press which also published his most two recent fantasy novels: The New Faust at the Tragicomique, The Wayward Muse and The Stones of Camelot.
