A convict ship becomes the setting for Gaston Leroux’s adventure of rebellion, violence and shifting identities. Among the prisoners is Chéri-Bibi, whose strength and reputation make him a central figure as the struggle aboard the vessel draws prisoners, guards and passengers into danger.
The story combines the confined world of the ship with escapes, reversals and a mystery surrounding Chéri-Bibi’s past. This is the complete 1923 English-language volume, also published under the title The Floating Prison, including H. J. Peck’s frontispiece. The closing notice points readers toward a further volume of Chéri-Bibi’s adventures; the present book’s own text is complete.
