Download or read book The Monsieur Lecoq of the Sûreté Mysteries written by Émile Gaboriau and published by Leonaur Limited. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of the investigations of a 19th century French police detective Monsieur Lecoq is one of the earliest fictional detectives and his success with the reading public undoubtedly influenced Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the creation of his more renowned fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes. Lecoq, who was based on the actual former criminal turned police officer, Eugene Vidocq, was the creation of Emile Gaboriau (1832-73), a French author who had tried his hand at several genres before he became a pioneer of 'detective fiction'. 'The Lerouge Case' (1866) catapulted him to almost instantaneous fame. His reputation secured, more Lecoq stories followed and earned Gaboriau a substantial international readership, though this was diminished by the arrival of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Nevertheless, Gaboriau continued to write crime novels and enjoyed considerable success especially in France until his untimely death (aged just 40 years) from pulmonary apoplexy. In common with the life of the character upon whom he is based, Lecoq has a dark side to his personality which contrasts sharply with the usual unambiguously moral personalities of most of the great detectives in this genre. He has, however, the obligatory foil in the person of Taberet, an 'armchair detective' who acts as mentor to Lecoq and provides intellectual assistance to solve crimes without leaving his own bed. Unlike Holmes, Lecoq is not a private detective but an officer of the French Surete or La Surete Nationale which initially served as the detective branch of the Paris police force and was in fact created in 1812 by Vidocq who was its director until 1827. This Leonaur collection brings together all the Lecoq cases into one four volume edition for modern readers to enjoy. In volume two readers will discover, 'File No. 113' and 'A Disappearance', Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Book excerpt: Policemen on patrol in a dangerous area of Paris hear a cry coming from the Poivrière bar and go to investigate. There is evidence of a struggle. Three dead men are lying on the floor, and a wounded man, who is certainly the murderer, stands in a doorway. He tries to escape, but gets caught. Senior inspector Gévrol thinks that the case is straightforward – a pub brawl that ended in murder, whereas his young colleague Lecoq thinks that there is more to the affair than meets the eye. Under interrogation, the suspect maintains that he is an acrobat named Mai, but Lecoq believes he might be the Duke of Sairmeuse and that he doesn't want his identity to be revealed, for his family pride.

Book excerpt: Emile Gaboriau, who was Paul Feval's secretary, penned these two masterpieces of early detective novels in 1867: The Orcival Murder: Poachers discover the lifeless body of Countess of Tremorel in the woods near her castle. Her home has been ransacked and her husband has vanished. Despite the myriad of clues left to mislead the police, Monsieur Lecoq of the Surete solves the puzzle -- but at what price? File 113: A bank's safe is robbed. Two men are suspected: one is the bank's owner who lives above the bank, the other is his trusted manager. But what if neither is guilty? Leave it to Monsieur Lecoq, a detective of many disguises and much guile to uncover the devastating truth of deceit, betrayal, lies and murder. These two classics have been retranslated and annotated by Nina Cooper, who holds a Ph. D. in contemporary French literature from the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Cooper has previously translated Gaboriau's masterpiece Monsieur Lecoq for Black Coat Press. She has done work on the plays of Gabriel Marcel and Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as on the short stories of Julien Green."

Download or read book Monsieur Lecoq written by Emile Gaboriau and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2003-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emile Gaboriau (1833-1873) is an important figure in the history of detective fiction. A French journalist and novelist, he created the "roman policier" with a series of books involving private detective Monsieur Lecoq, who works logically. Lecoq was based on a real-life thief turned policeman named Francois Vidocq (1775-1857), whose memoirs mixed fiction and fact. Gaboriau's huge following was eclipsed by Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. Interestingly, Holmes may have been at least partly based on another of Gaboriau's characters, consulting detective Father Tabaret, whose methods Monsieur Lecoq adopts in the first Lecoq book.

Download or read book Monsieur Lecoq written by Emile Gaboriau and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 guilty—except 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.
