The Perfume of the Lady in Black, a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux, was published in 1908. This work marked the second appearance of the 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. The Perfume of the Lady in Black is often considered one of the best mysteries of all time and has been adapted several times for film.
Joseph Rouletabille is a multifaceted character. Professionally, he is a reporter, using his journalistic talents to compile facts and track down leads. However, he spends his free time working as an amateur detective, utilizing his journalistic skills to gather information and pursue leads. In The Mystery of the Yellow Room, Rouletabille saved the life of Mathilde Stangerson, the daughter of a prominent professor, from the clutches of Ballmeyer, a violent criminal mastermind skilled in disguise. Unbeknownst to her father, Mathilde had married Ballmeyer while living in America before realizing he had been living under a false identity. After Ballmeyer's apparent death, Rouletabille, his assistant Sainclair, and Mathilde return to their lives. However, shortly after leaving for her honeymoon with Robert Darzac, 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 undoubtedly 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.
