Summary "A Servant of Satan: Romantic Career of Prado the Assassin" by Louis Berard is a narrative account of crime written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the enigmatic figure of Prado, an assassin infamous for his cunning and intelligence, who recounts his life leading up to his execution. The text explores themes of betrayal, societal class, and the intricate web of Prado's life, weaving through various cities and involving a cast of characters. The opening of the book introduces us to the protagonist, Count Frederick von Waldberg, also known as Prado, who is entrenched in a life of crime and deceit.

His relationships and choices lead to catastrophic consequences, setting the stage for his eventual fate as a criminal facing the guillotine—all while hinting at the deeper troubles that plague his family lineage.
