Les Compagnons de Jehu is set in the 1800s, during Napoleon's rise to
power. The title refers to a secret organisation of young
aristocrats-turned-highwaymen that continuously steals the money of the
Directoire in order to finance the restoration of monarchy. It has all
the typical Dumas ingredients, that is to say duels, political
intrigues, noble heros and a tragic love store that would make
Shakespeare green with envy. Not to mention a hero with a murky past who
you will love-to-hate. Be prepared to shed quantities of tears. You've
been warned!
