THE SUICIDE CLUB is a collection of three 19th century detective fiction
short stories by Robert Louis Stevenson that combine to form a single
narrative. First published in the London Magazine in 1878, they were
collected and republished in the first volume of the New Arabian
Nights.
The trilogy introduces the characters of Prince Florizel of Bohemia and
his sidekick Colonel Geraldine. In this cycle they infiltrate a secret
society of people intent on losing their lives.
It has been described as: "The Prince's investigation of the macabre
club and its criminally inclined president makes for one of Stevenson's
most exciting and suspenseful tales."
The cycle has been adapted for stage, film and television on a number of
occasions.
