Start Your First Adventure

A thief without a face. A detective who won't let go. A rivalry neither of them fully understands.

A series of impossible robberies has haunted Europe for years. Only detective Theo Moreau sees what no one else believes: the crimes are the design of a single brilliant thief known only as Le Fantôme.

When Le Fantôme strikes again, Theo finally gets his chance to salvage his name. But to succeed, he must outmaneuver Le Fantôme's skilled crew of thieves, each with their own hidden agenda. And in a world where perception rarely matches reality, Theo's determination may be clouding his judgment.

The Mastermind explores the thin boundaries between truth and fiction, justice and obsession, trust and betrayal—told in sharp, daily five-minute chapters.
