This is a captivating, thrilling investigation, which has nothing to envy of the greatest tales of piracy, the most famous of which remains Stevenson's Treasure Island. An investigation which leads us from enigma to enigma, from revelation to revelation, towards the author of a famous cryptogram:
Olivier Levasseur, known as La Buse. A cryptogram thrown towards the crowd by its author on the day of his hanging and which would allow, whoever could decipher it, to locate a fabulous treasure. The author of this breathtaking investigation, Charles de la Roncière, (1870-1941) wrote numerous works devoted to maritime affairs and is still recognized today for his famous History of the French Navy from its origins to 1715. Only a scholar of his kind could tell us and bring to life as closely as possible the lives and adventures of these famous pirates who raged during the 18th century in the Indian Ocean.
