IV. LE TRIOMPHE DE M. BOBBY
A bustling Paris street erupts in panic when a dead man is found hanging bizarrely from the bronze spires of the Obelisk. The grisly scene draws a crowd of startled passersby, police officers, and a curious journalist named M. Bobby, whose keen eye doesn’t miss the strange details that hint at something far more unsettling than a simple suicide. As the officials struggle to free the corpse, rumors spread like wildfire, and the city’s undercurrents of intrigue begin to surface.
Amid the chaos, a shadowy figure known only as Coxward watches from the sidelines, its motives as enigmatic as the strange body suspended in the air. The first act sets the stage for a tangled web of crime, hidden chemistry, and daring reportage, promising a labyrinthine adventure through Paris’s fog‑laden avenues and secret societies. Listeners will be drawn into a world where every clue is a step deeper into a mystery that refuses to stay quiet.

1839–1915
A restless, prolific voice in 19th-century France, he moved easily between journalism, adventure fiction, crime stories, and early speculative tales. His life was as dramatic as his novels, shaped by political activism, prison, and a remarkable range of popular writing.
