We bring you this edition of The Mystery of the Yellow Room -Gaston Leroux's famous detective novel. Published in 1907, The Mystery of the Yellow Room was France's reply to Sherlock Holmes. This novel ranks among the first locked room mysteries, in which a crime has occurred under seemingly impossible circumstances. The plot technique has since been imitated by other masters of detective fiction, including Agatha Christie, Ellery Queen and Dorothy Sayers. * Illustrated with 30+ historical paintings and illustrations from 19th century France. * Author/editor Alastair Gray has enhanced this with a new introduction and author biography. * Other changes include adaptation of chapter titles and text from archaic Victorian to standard English. This edition has been carefully edited to preserve the author's original work. Also features updated maps. News of a strange crime spreads like wildfire in Paris. Someone has attempted to murder the daughter of a brilliant scientist. But nobody can explain how the murderer got in and out of the locked room of her isolated country home. Only Joseph Rouletabille, an impatient young journalist, has the genius to solve this crime. But can he match wits with a seemingly supernatural killer?

Paperback, [PU: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform], Reporter and amateur sleuth Joseph Rouletabille is sent to investigate a criminal case at the Château du Glandier and takes along his friend the lawyer Sainclair, who narrates. Mathilde Stangerson, the 30-something daughter of the castle's owner, Professor Joseph Stangerson, was found near-critically battered in a room adjacent to his laboratory on the castle grounds, with the door still locked from the inside. She recovers slowly but can make no useful testimony. Rouletabille meets and interrogates several characters: the castle's concierges Mr & Mrs Bernier, the old servant Jacques, an unfriendly inn landlord and a womanising gamekeeper, and begins a friendly rivalry with France's top police detective Frédéric Larsan, who has been assigned the case. Larsan suspects Ms Stangerson's fiancé, another scientist called Robert Darzac, to Rouletabille's dismay., Encyclopaedias & Reference Works<
