Description

A chilling night at the isolated Château du Glandier erupts into a baffling crime: a brilliant professor is attacked in his laboratory while his daughter lies asleep in the adjoining Yellow Room, a space sealed from the outside. The door is locked, the windows barred, yet the assailant vanishes without a trace, leaving the household and the authorities perplexed.

Enter Joseph Rouletabille, an eighteen‑year‑old reporter with a razor‑sharp mind and a flair for deduction. He plunges into the case, turning the seemingly impossible puzzle into a game of observation, logic, and daring inference. As he interviews the stunned witnesses and examines the scene’s minute details, the mystery deepens, drawing listeners into a world of suspense where every clue could unlock the truth behind the impossible crime.
