About this book

Paris, a cold October evening, and the servants of the Hotel de Chalusse in the Rue de Courcelles gather in the porter's lodge to complain about their master. The count is not yet fifty, is said to be worth millions, and lives quietly with Mademoiselle Marguerite, while the great reception rooms stay closed.

Émile Gaboriau's novel is in two parts, and this volume holds the first, headed Pascal and Marguerite, in twenty-one chapters. Gaboriau is regarded as an early master of French detective fiction.
