Introduced by Mark Valentine. The greatest French detective in his most fiendish case. Even if Hercule Poirot had been born a Frenchman, not a Belgian, he would have to take second place in detection to Joseph Rouletabille, the brilliant young sleuth created by Gaston Leroux. Here, in his first and most baffling case, the eighteen year old reporter astounds readers with his audacity and ingenuity. Who could have tried to murder Mademoiselle Stangerson, beautiful daughter of a famous radium scientist ? And how could they have entered and escaped from a completely locked and watched room ? With the Surete's top sleuth vying against him, Rouletabille is determined to prove only he can solve the case. This classic work of French detective fiction was much admired by Agatha Christie. As a connoisseur of the detective story she said this was 'one of the best'. Others would praise it even more highly than that.

The classic locked room detective novel which still baffles today.

In "The Man With the Black Feather," Gaston Leroux weaves a gripping tale that intricately blends elements of mystery, adventure, and psychological depth. The narrative follows the enigmatic figure of the Black Feather, a character cloaked in secrecy and danger, as he navigates the intricate web of Parisian society in a quest for love and redemption. Lerouxs literary style is marked by vivid imagery and a keen psychological insight, reflecting the late 19th-century fascination with the complexities of the human psyche. The book can be situated within the context of gothic literature and the burgeoning detective genre, showcasing Lerouxs ability to intertwine suspense with poignant social commentary. Gaston Leroux, renowned for his seminal work "The Phantom of the Opera," drew upon his experiences as a journalist and a fervent observer of societal mores to craft this narrative. His unique perspective, shaped by his encounters with the darker corners of urban life and the intricate dynamics of Parisian culture, informs the conflicted characters and morally ambiguous situations that populate his fiction. Lerouxs own fascination with the macabre and the extraordinary resonates throughout the novel, mirroring the restless spirit of his time. I highly recommend "The Man With the Black Feather" to readers who seek an immersive exploration of the human condition, punctuated by suspenseful twists and rich character development. Lerouxs masterful storytelling and profound thematic insights make this work a compelling addition to the canon of classic literature, inviting readers to ponder the mysteries of love, identity, and the choices that define us.

An unspeakably ugly man hides in the vaults of the Paris Opera. He has two passions: music and the young singer Christine Daaé. To make her the star of the opera, he uses every means at his disposal, and soon he turns the venerable building into a madhouse, because he frightens singers and staff alike. Christine initially succumbs to his courtship until she falls in love with one of her childhood playmates, the viscount de Chagny, and the phantom becomes furious with jealousy.

Tras el éxito obtenido con El Misterio del Cuarto Amarillo, Gaston Leroux quiso dar cima a la aventura y al destino de sus personajes con un «más difícil todavía». El ingenioso Rouletabille vio lo in
