The Club Dumas is a multi-layered quest story featuring “mercenary” book hunter Lucas Corso, who is hired to authenticate a pair of literary curiosities: a hand-written fragment of Alexander Dumas’s masterpiece, The Three Musketeers and a rare edition of a proscribed volume of black magic entitled The Book of the Nine Doors of the Kingdom of Shadows. These interlinked quests lead Corso into a labyrinth of murder, suicide, and satanic rituals. At the same time, they lead him into the heart of a carefully constructed narrative that is strange, familiar, and deeply seductive, all at once.
