MONTE-CRISTO'S DAUGHTER.

SEQUEL TO

ALEXANDER DUMAS'

GREAT NOVEL, THE "COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO," AND CONCLUSION OF "EDMOND
DANTES."

BY

EDMUND FLAGG

* * * * *

"MONTE-CRISTO'S DAUGHTER," a wonderfully brilliant, original,
exciting and absorbing novel, is the Sequel to "The Count of
Monte-Cristo," Alexander Dumas' masterwork, and the continuation
and conclusion of that great romance, "Edmond Dantes." It possesses
rare power, unflagging interest and an intricate plot that for
constructive skill and efficient development stands unrivalled.
Zuleika, the beautiful daughter of Monte-Cristo and Haydee, is the
heroine, and her suitor, the Viscount Giovanni Massetti, an ardent,
impetuous young Roman, the hero. The latter, through a flirtation
with a pretty flower-girl, Annunziata Solara, becomes involved in a
maze of suspicion that points to him as an abductor and an
assassin, causes his separation from Zuleika and converts him into
a maniac. The straightening out of these tangled complications
constitutes the main theme of the thrilling book. The novel abounds
in ardent love scenes and stirring adventures. The Count of
Monte-Cristo figures largely in it, and numerous Monte-Cristo
characters are introduced. "MONTE-CRISTO'S DAUGHTER" is the latest
addition to Petersons' famous series, consisting of "The Count of
Monte-Cristo," "Edmond Dantes," "The Countess of Monte-Cristo,"
"The Wife of Monte-Cristo," and "The Son of Monte-Cristo."
