Book Description:
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.
