The Man with the Claws at Monte Carlo Casino
A Paris detective recalls a mysterious visitor at Monte Carlo, known as The Man with the Claws. Emile Tessier, later Boudet of Passy, uses a glove to hide a withered hand and a cough to mask identity before fleeing to Nice and being tracked by Dumont. The case ties to a German moneylender murder and a feared international gang.
