Filled with suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists, this classic tale is a must-read for fans of detective fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmile 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 444\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.58 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43156707803199,"sku":"9780809530526","price":34.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/KB9RgQZuoj9780809530526.webp?v=1776974529","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/monsieur-lecoq-the-widow-lerouge-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
