Paperback
(Independently published June 30, 2020)
My name is Ratichon—Hector Ratichon, at your service,and I make so bold as to say that not even my worstenemy would think of minimizing the value of my servicesto the State. For twenty years now have I placed mypowers at the disposal of my country: I have served theRepublic, and was confidential agent to CitizenRobespierre; I have served the Empire, and was secretfactotum to our great Napoléon; I have served KingLouis—with a brief interval of one hundred days— for thepast two years, and I can only repeat that no one, in thewhole of France, has been so useful or so zealous intracking criminals, nosing out conspiracies, or denouncingtraitors as I have been.And yet you see me a poor man to this day: there hasbeen a persistently malignant Fate which has workedagainst me all these years, and would—but for a happycircumstance of which I hope anon to tell you—have leftme just as I was, in the matter of fortune, when I first cameto Paris and set up in business as a volunteer police agentat No. 96 Rue Daunou.
