First published by Dedalus in 1997, this locked-room detective
novel from 1908 is a classic of early 20th-century detective
fiction. At the heart of the novel is the enigma: how could a
murder take place in a locked room which shows no sign of being
entered? The novel is also about the rivalry between detective
Frederick Larson and a young investigative journalist,
Rouletabille. Larson finds a suspect who is put on trial, only to
have him cleared by Rouletabille, who dramatically reveals the
identity of the real murderer. The Mystery of the Yellow Room is a
novel which consciously tries to outdo the traditional detective
novel with classic intellectual conundrums.
