Charles Robert-Dumas
French novelist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Robert-Dumas (1875–1946) was a French novelist, particularly specialising in the crime and spy genres. Several of his works have been adapted for the screen.[1] He is particularly known for his series featuring the French spy Captain Benoît of the Deuxième Bureau, a nemesis of the Germans.[2] The popularity the series enjoyed in the 1930s, with the growing threat of war with Nazi Germany, was analogous to Ian Fleming's later James Bond series of novels.[3]
