Emile Gaboriau (1833-1873) is an important figure in the history of
detective fiction. A French journalist and novelist, he created the
"roman policier" with a series of books involving private detective
Monsieur Lecoq, who works logically. Lecoq was based on a real-life
thief turned policeman named Francois Vidocq (1775-1857), whose
memoirs mixed fiction and fact. Gaboriau's huge following was
eclipsed by Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. Interestingly,
Holmes may have been at least partly based on another of Gaboriau's
characters, consulting detective Father Tabaret, whose methods
Monsieur Lecoq adopts in the first Lecoq book.
