Michael's Wedding Gift Vendetta Begins Between Sayers and Greves
A tale of crime and escape opens with Michael Sayes hunted by Sir Norman Greves of Scotland Yard. Janet, Sayes's maid turned wife, shoots an arresting officer to save him and flees to Marseilles with a conspirator named Louisa Martin. Greves tracks Sayes, who hides in Marseilles. A woodcutter narrator recounts a life of crime and peril as he and two partners plot thefts and a final, dangerous coup. The narrative ends with a dramatic rescue of a girl in a car near Hyeres, foreshadowing more danger in the next issue.
