he book kicks off with Reiss cracking into a safe to get access to papers about Alexandre Dumas’s father, Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, which seems like an appropriately dramatic way to learn about the Dumas family honestly. (Although he did have government permission for this spot of safecracking, which perhaps makes it slightly less Dumasian.)
The Musketeers totally had gov't permission for what they did! I mean, which member of the gov't and how they got it was another matter, but I don't think it detracts from the perfect Dumas-opening there.
