About the Book
This early work by Émile Gaboriau was originally published in 1866 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. The Widow Lerouge is one of Gaboriau's novels of crime and mystery.
Author Background
Émile Gaboriau was born in the small town of Saujon, Charente-Maritime, France. During his twenties, he became a secretary to Paul Féval - an author now regarded as one of the fathers of modern crime fiction, whose Jean Diable (1862) is seen as the world's first modern detective novel.
