"The Triumphs of Eug ne Valmont" is a collection of short stories by Robert Barr, first published in 1906. The stories feature the titular character, Eug ne Valmont, a French detective who solves crimes in the late 19th century. Valmont is portrayed as a confident and clever detective, who often outsmarts the criminals he is investigating. The stories are full of humor and satire, with Valmont being portrayed as a parody of the typical fictional detective of the time. In the first story, "The Mystery of the Five Hundred Diamonds," Valmont is hired by a wealthy American to find a missing necklace. Valmont quickly realizes that the American is not telling the truth, and uncovers a complicated plot involving multiple suspects. In another story, "The Siamese Twin of a Bomb-Thrower," Valmont investigates a bomb-throwing anarchist who is believed to have a Siamese twin. Valmont uses his wit and charm to gain the trust of the anarchist and ultimately uncovers the truth about his accomplices. Overall, "The Triumphs of Eug ne Valmont" is a witty and entertaining collection of stories that showcase the intelligence and charm of its protagonist, Eug ne Valmont.
