Monsieur Lecoq, from the French

A grisly triple murder occurs in a down-and-out quarter of Paris, and the petty criminal apprehended at the scene of the crime is considered clearly guiltyexcept by young Monsieur Lecoq. The brilliant but inexperienced young detective digs deeper into the case to discover an affair of family honor involving blackmail, secret identities, and suicide. Outwitted at every turn, Lecoq is compelled to attempt a last-ditch gamble. First published in 1869, Monsieur Lecoq is astonishingly modern and enjoyable. André Gide pronounced author Emile Gaboriau the father of the modern detective novel, and this is Gaboriau's finest work. Energetic and keenly logical, Lecoq ranks as a significant figure in the history of detective novels; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself acknowledged the fictional sleuth's influence on his own logical mastermind, Sherlock Holmes.

  • "Ein Leckerbissen für Krimifreunde: Die Krimireihe mit dem Detektiv Lecoq spielt in den 1860er Jahren in und um Paris, kann sich jedoch in Spannung, Rafinesse und Ideenreichtum problemlos mit einem Henning Mankell oder einer Donna Leon messen. Aus Angst, früher oder später selbst das perfekte Verbrechen zu verüben, geht der junge Lecoq zur Pariser Sûreté, um ebensolche Fälle aufzuklären. Schnell macht er sich durch Beobachtungsgabe, Logik und Hartnäckigkeit einen Namen und gibt einem scheinbar klaren Fall die entscheidende Wende... Émile Gaboriau (1832 - 1873), französischer Schriftsteller gilt als Vorreiter des Kriminal- bzw. Detektivromans. Seine Hauptfigur Inspektor Lecoq tritt in "Der Fall Lerouge" erstmals auf, zunächst als Sicherheitsagent, um später zum berühmten Inspektor aufzusteigen. Gaboriaus Kriminalromane spinnen sich um soziale Spannungen und politische Intrigen und sind heute so aktuell wie vor 150 Jahren."
