The Perfume of the Lady in Black (1908) is a novel by French writer
Gaston Leroux. The Perfume of the Lady in Black marked the second
appearance of popular character Joseph Rouletabille, a reporter and
part-time sleuth who features in several of Leroux's novels.
Originally a journalist, Leroux turned to fiction after reading the
works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allan Poe. Often considered
one of the best mysteries of all time, the novel has been adapted
several times for film. Joseph Rouletabille is more than meets the
eye. A reporter by profession, he spends his free time working as
an amateur detective, using his journalistic talents to compile
facts and track down leads. In The Mystery of the Yellow Room, he
saved the life of Mathilde Stangerson, the daughter of a prominent
professor, from the clutches of Ballmeyer, a violent criminal
mastermind gifted in the art of disguise. Unbeknownst to her
father, Mathilde had married Ballmeyer while living in America
before realizing he had been living under a false identity. Now
believed to be dead, Ballmeyer fades into history as Rouletabille,
his assistant Sainclair, and Mathilde return to their lives.
Shortly after leaving for her honeymoon with Robert Darzac,
however, Mathilde contacts Rouletabille with terrifying news-their
common enemy seems to have returned. The Perfume of the Lady in
Black is a story of mystery and suspense from one of history's
finest detective novelists. Joseph Rouletabille is without a doubt
France's answer to Sherlock Holmes. With a beautifully designed
cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Gaston
Leroux's The Perfume of the Lady in Black is a classic of French
literature reimagined for modern readers.
