Synopsis

This volume contains the second novel of the amazing saga "THE ADVENTURES OF ROULETABILLE", by french writer Gaston Leroux, whose contribution to French detective fiction is considered a parallel to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's in the United Kingdom and Edgar Allan Poe's in the United States. It also contains the extraordinary novel by this same author, and one of the best known novels in the world: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. The Perfume of the Lady in Black (Le parfum de la dame en noir), explains Rouletabille's origins. A great, old fashioned murder mystery... Until now, a rare find. We are finally making it available and affordable.

About this title

About the Author:

Gaston Leroux was a French journalist, short-story writer, and novelist, and is most famous for his acclaimed novel, The Phantom of the Opera. A student of law, Leroux turned to journalism after spending his inheritance on a lavish lifestyle. Over a decade of work as a court reporter and theatre critic for the L ?cho de Paris served as inspiration for his series of successful detective novels featuring Joseph Rouletabille, an amateur sleuth, and Leroux s contributions to the French detective genre are considered as significant as those of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allan Poe. Leroux died in 1927.
