No había sonidos, no había tiempo, no había vida… En esas ocasiones intuía que llevaba varios días dormido y, cuando despertaba, con frecuencia pensaba que estaba muerto, que por fin había muerto, pero las bridas rodeándole los tobillos y las muñecas le recordaban dónde se hallaba y en qué estado.

Questo romanzo è la prosecuzione de "Il mio cadavere". Anche se i personaggi sono in parte gli stessi del precedente volume, il tono del romanzo ha perso quanto di "noir" aveva il primo, e insiste invece sulle trame e gli intrecci che la Giustizia Divina percorre per rendere ad ognuno ciò che gli è dovuto in termine di premi e punizioni. E il Mastriani è un narratore molto presente, che commenta gli eventi e coglie ogni occasione per descrivere ambienti e storia dei luoghi narrati (in questo caso la Francia delle prime decadi dell'800). Cornice musicale: Chopin op.9.

Questo romanzo, scritto nel 1851, è considerato il primo "noir" italiano. L'autore, scrittore fertile di romanzi di appendice e precursore del verismo, fu il più popolare degli scrittori napoletani. La Serao lo ricorda come "precursore della narativa di denuncia"; Benedetto Croce lo definisce "letto da tutti fuorchè dalla gente letterata", e invita gli studiosi italiani ad occuparsi di lui, sia per il suo interesse storico che linguistico, che per la sua prosa elegante e ricercata, e originale.
