Book Overview

by Gaston LeRoux (Author), Hannaford Bennett (Translator), John Betancourt (Introduction by)

When investigative journalist Joseph Rouletabille stumbles upon a secretive group of "Bohemians" (Romani), he becomes entangled in a mystery involving a stolen sacred book and a criminal mastermind known as "La Pieuvre"-The Octopus. As Rouletabille navigates hidden dangers, shifting allegiances, and cryptic clues, he must use his brilliant deductive skills to outwit his enemies. But with deception at every turn, can he unravel the truth before it's too late?

A gripping detective adventure by Gaston Leroux, The Octopus of Paris (also published as Rouletabille among the Bohemians and The Sleuth Hound) blends suspense, mystery, and intrigue in the tradition of classic crime fiction.

Translated by Hannaford Bennett. New introduction by John Betancourt.

About Gaston LeRoux

Gaston Leroux, French journalist and writer of suspense fiction, was born in Paris in 1868. His experiences as a crime reporter and war correspondent for a French newspaper gave him the background to create his popular novels. He was one of the originators of the detective story, and his young fictional detective, Joseph Rouletabile, was the forerunner of many reporter-detective characters in modern fiction. Two of Leroux's best-known mysteries are The Perfume of the Lady in Black and The Mystery of the Yellow Room, which is considered one of the finest "locked room" mysteries ever written. A second series of suspense adventures featured an old rascal named Cheri-Bibi. But Leroux's most enduring work is, of course, The Phantom of the Opera, which was first published in 1910. Leroux died in Nice, France, in 1927.
