About the Book

Résumé À Orcival, le 9 juillet 186..., des braconniers découvrent le corps sans vie d'une femme, la comtesse de Tremorel, dont l'identité est rapidement établie par la police. Non loin de là, le château de la victime est sens dessus dessous, et nulle trace du comte de Tremorel. Les autorités inculpent finalement un certain Guespin que tout semble accuser. Dépêché sur les lieux par la Préfecture de police, M. Lecoq de la Sûreté, reprend l'enquête à zéro, rétablit l'heure réelle du crime, constate que ni le le comte ni la comtesse n'ont couché dans le lit défait ce soir-là. Le ou les assassins ont en outre multiplié les indices, comme cinq verres vides pour faire croire qu'ils sont nombreux, et les traces d'une fausse lutte sur le sable, afin d'égarer les soupçons. Lecoq songe à un plan pour résoudre l'énigme, mais l'issue de l'affaire, il en a bien conscience, reste incertaine
About the Author: Émile Gaboriau, né le 9 novembre 1832 à Saujon (Charente-Inférieure) et mort le 28 septembre 1873 à Paris (Seine), est un écrivain français, considéré comme le père du roman policier. Son personnage, l'enquêteur Lecoq, a influencé Conan Doyle pour la création de Sherlock Holmes. Il a lui-même été très influencé par Edgar Allan Poe. Biographie: Gaboriau exerça divers métiers: clerc d'avoué, hussard en Afrique, chef d'écurie. Il s'engagea dans la cavalerie pour sept ans, mais résilia son contrat rapidement pour gagner Paris, où il rédigea des chroniques pour gagner sa vie. Il devint le secrétaire de Paul Féval, qui lui fit découvrir le journalisme. Son premier roman, L'Affaire Lerouge, d'abord publié sans succès sous forme de feuilleton en 1863, devint très populaire en 1866. L'auteur y met en scène le Père Tabaret, dit Tirauclair, et introduit l'agent de la sécurité Lecoq, qui deviendra un commissaire célèbre et le personnage principal des romans suivants. Inspiré par le chef de la sûreté François Vidocq, déjà à l'origine du Vautrin de Balzac, il est le modèle du détective ingénieux qui, n'hésitant pas à se travestir, résout des énigmes par ses capacités déductives hors normes. Ce dernier personnage devait inspirer Conan Doyle et Maurice Leblanc. Mais, à la différence de Sherlock Holmes, les enquêtes de Lecoq reposent sur des investigations plus réalistes, plus proches des progrès de la police scientifique de l'époque. Les romans policiers de Gaboriau font pénétrer l'intrigue dans les milieux sociaux, qu'ils décrivent d'une manière qu'on peut qualifier de naturaliste . En cela, l'influence de Gaboriau sur le roman policier français reste très importante. Ses analyses psychologiques très fines (Le Crime d'Orcival) ont inspiré jusqu'à Georges Simenon. Après le succès de L'Affaire Lerouge, Gaboriau travailla comme feuilletoniste au Petit Journal. En 1872, il écrivit avec Jules-Émile-Baptiste Holstein une pièce de théâtre tirée de L'Affaire Lerouge. Gaboriau mourut en 1873.
