Louis Amédée Achard
![Nadar](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Louis_Am%C3%A9d%C3%A9e_Achard_by_Nadar.jpg)
Achard was born in Marseille. After a short stay near Algiers, where he supervised a farm, he went to Toulouse, and then Marseille, where he became a journalist and wrote for the ''Sémaphore.'' He moved to Paris, where he wrote for the ''Vert-Vert'', the ''Entracte'', the ''Charivari'', and the ''Époque''. Achard wrote extensively for the ''Époque'', even writing for his colleagues when they lacked inspiration. He then collaborated in the satirical journal ''Le Pamphlet'', and was gravely wounded in a duel with a man named Fiorentino, whom he had defamed. While still convalescent, he left for Italy with the French Army to cover the war for the ''Journal des Débats''.
Achard was a prolific writer. In addition to his journalism, he wrote about thirty plays and about forty books. He is known today primarily for his cloak and dagger novels. Some incorrectly claim that he was the originator of the term (Ponson du Terrail used the term a little before him), but he did write a novel called ''la Cape et l'Épée'' (''The Cloak and Dagger'') in 1875. Achard also wrote many books on manners. He died, aged 60, in Paris. Provided by Wikipedia
