Pierre Zaccone (2 April 1817 – 12 April 1895) was a popular 19th-century French novelist. He owned a castle which is now named after him in Locquirec, a small Breton seaside resort located on the border of Finistère and Cotes d'Armor. He wrote serialized novels, including several detective novels. He authored some dramas in collaboration, including Le cousin Verdure, comédie-vaudeville in 1 act by Saint-Yves in 1855 and one after his novel, Les Nuits du boulevard, in 1880. After 1870, much of his work was published by Édouard Dentu. Source: Wikipedia (en)
