About the author

Emile Gaboriau

1832–1873

A key early master of detective fiction, he helped shape the modern mystery through fast-moving serialized novels and the cool-headed investigations of Monsieur Lecoq. Writing in 19th-century Paris, he blended crime, suspense, and careful police work in ways that influenced generations of thriller writers.
