The origin story of the Lone Wolf, master criminal with a conscienceOne rainy winter night, an orphan is abandoned to the care of a shabby Parisian inn called Troyon's. For the next eleven years, the boy is up before dawn to clean and fetch and serve, his only respite the closet to which he retires at night and the books he pilfers from the hotel's guests. A few francs here and there also find their way into his pockets, but not so much that anyone would notice-anyone, that is, except Bourke, the cultivated Irish thief who regularly hides out at Troyon's. Caught red-handed, the amateur outwits.
