Haki makes Leyden aware that he is currently investigating the murder of Greek master criminal Dimitrios Makrpouloss, bloated corpse has just washed ashore on a beach in the Bosphorous. Never having seen a murdered body. Leyden accepts Haki's invitation to view it before cremation. Initially repulsed, he becomes fascinated by Haki's tale of Dimitrios sordid career as he rose from petty crime, smuggling and murder to blackmail, espionage, and political assassination. Following Haki's leads, his investigations lead him to such varied cities as Athens, Sofia, Geneva, and Paris, where he interviews Dimitrios' former mistress, who doesn't rise until ten in the evening, and the urbane, aristocratic cat-fancier who hired Dimitrios to steal state secrets. During his travels Leyden becomes friendly with Mr. Peters, an idiosyncratic three hundred pound Englishman, who seems more obsessed with Makropoulos than Leyden. Peters, who was betrayed by Dimitrios years before, is eager to take revenge on his former partner, and he forms a alliance with the writer to track down and blackmail the enigmatic criminal, a very high-risk enterprise.

Description: In the bohemian Montmartre district of late 1950s Paris, Robert "Bob" Montagné, a habitual gambler and former bank robber who has been going straight for twenty years, finds himself flat broke after a long string of bad luck. So, in desperate need of cash, the ex-gangster organises one last heist, setting his sights on robbing Deauville Casino's impenetrable safe, allegedly crammed with 800 million francs. As Bob and his hand-picked team iron out the details of the audacious plan, the stage seems set for a final, winner-take-all robbery. However, greed, blackmail, and even death stand in the way of success. Can Bob the Gambler get away scot-free?
