About this ebook
The novel begins with the description of the boring and restrained life of a middle manager at a brokerage firm, then quite unexpectedly the police come to his home to arrest him for helping embezzle 12 million francs. He eludes the police, then the narrative has no less than four separate flashbacks that explore the lives of the man's wife, their daughter, their son, and their son's mistress.
About the author
Émile Gaboriau (Saujon 1832–Paris 1873) fut hussard en Afrique, chef d'écurie et s'engagea dans la cavalerie avant de s’installer à Paris. Il y devient le secrétaire de Paul Féval qui lui fait découvrir le journalisme. Il publie son premier roman, L’Affaire Lerouge, en 1866. Le succès est tel qu’il est engagé comme feuilletoniste au Petit Journal. Emile Gaboriau est considéré comme le père du roman policier français.
