The Sins of Séverac Bablon

In Edwardian London, the mysterious Séverac Bablon appears like a ghost among the living: he pays the rent of the destitute, funds the passage home of 2,000 unemployed Canadian workers, and generally makes a nuisance of himself by exposing the moral bankruptcy of the wealthy. When he crashes a glittering society party, it's not with an invitation but with a ring of armed men who surround the guests and demand answers. Chief Inspector Sheffield of Scotland Yard is called to unravel who this enigmatic Frenchman really is and what he's after. Is Bablon a dangerous radical or a twisted philanthropist? The answer lies in a thriller that remembers its pulp roots while asking uncomfortable questions about what we owe the poor.
