<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>The Perfume of the Lady in Black</i> (1908) is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. <i>The Perfume of the Lady in Black</i> 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 <i>The Mystery of the Yellow Room</i>, 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. <i>The Perfume of the Lady in Black</i> 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 <i>The Perfume of the Lady in Black</i> is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Reporter and amateur detective Joseph Rouletabille succeeded where no one else could.
