Synopsis
A Locked Room. An Impossible Crime. A Timeless Mystery—Now with New Illustrations.
One night, in a secluded French château, a young woman is found brutally attacked inside a room locked from the inside. No weapon. No escape. No explanation.
Enter Joseph Rouletabille, a brilliant young reporter with an uncanny gift for logic. As police baffle over the impossible crime, Rouletabille follows the evidence where others won’t—into secret passages, buried motives, and the dark corners of the human mind.
First published in 1907, The Mystery of the Yellow Room by Gaston Leroux is one of the most influential detective novels ever written and a cornerstone of the locked-room mystery genre. Clever, suspenseful, and relentlessly puzzling, it challenges readers to solve the crime alongside its unforgettable hero.
This edition features brand-new illustrations, bringing fresh visual life to Leroux’s atmospheric settings, memorable characters, and nerve-wracking moments—perfect for both first-time readers and longtime fans.
Ideal for lovers of classic mysteries, Sherlock Holmes devotees, and anyone who enjoys a puzzle that refuses to be easily solved.
Can you figure it out before Rouletabille does?
