Can the text not be found online?

online scans suck. They always have blurred or missing pages.

What is the book?

No some books I read literally only have one scan from one copy on the entire internet because they are old 19th or 18th century foreign language out ofprint books no one but elite readers like my self read.

No. It's not on Anna's Archive or the Internet Archive. As I've said I just started reading it. It seems to be a sub-par crime novel. It only has two editions as far as I know. The original 1934 French edition, and the 1938 American edition (in French) for American students of French. I was thinking of translating it because it is untranslated, and the editor claims the French author is a genius writer.
