"The Teeth of the Tiger" by Maurice Leblanc is an early 20th-century adventure where Don Luis Perenna, an ex-Foreign Legionnaire, gets mixed up in solving a murder and uncovering a secret inheritance. The story kicks off with high stakes when the main character is called upon to stop a possible double murder linked to a fortune in a financial agreement. The book opens with M. Desmalions, the Prefect of Police, about to meet people about an important case, as Inspector VĂ©rot shares concerns about an immediate threat connected to a recent homicide. VĂ©rot, unable to fully explain, suffers from a mysterious illness, hinting he was murdered. We realize two heirs tied to great wealth are in danger. The beginning perfectly sets up a thrilling chain of events full of hidden motives, justice-seeking, and shady schemes from those wanting to protect their interests.
