In "Stedfortrederen," Henri Duval, a prisoner in a remote penal colony, makes a desperate gamble: after the governor’s death, he poisons the man with a blowgun dart and plans to take his place, slipping into the coffin meant for the corpse and sailing back to Paris. With the body sealed in a casket and the ship bound for open sea, the true nature of his escape begins to unravel in ways he never expected.
