Nadie sabe qué habría hecho el juez con el expediente 113, de no ser por la habilidad del inspector Lecoq y su capacidad de disfrazarse. De la caja fuerte del banquero Fauvel habían desaparecido 350.000 francos: sólo Fauvel y el cajero Prosper conocían la combinación de aquella caja concebida a prueba de ladrones: sólo ellos tenían una llave. Pero un leve rasguño en la puerta desata la imaginación de Lecoq, que descubre un turbio pasado de amor y odio, chantaje y asesinato. Era la época en que la novela policiaca todavía estaba contaminada por el folletín, pero la figura de Lecoq facilitaría la aparición de Sherlock Holmes. The third mystery of Lecoq investigates a theft from a bank safe. Lecoq is not officially assigned to the case and spends most of the time in disguise. The motive is told in a long flashback, which makes it look more like a romance than a police story, and Gaboriau is a little negligent with the chronology, but for all that it is a nice page-turner. Reminded me often of Wilkie Collins. Before Arthur Conan Doyle was Emile Gaboriau. This detective novel is a rollicking good read featuring Inspector Lecoq who out-Sherlocks Sherlock Holmes a couple of decades before A Study in Scarlet debuted in 1887. An ingenious plot centered around a bank robbery and a young couple in love who go too far and suffer lifelong regrets pits some very attractive characters against the evil machinations of the Marquis de Clameran and the handsome but spurious Raoul Lagors. In the end young love triumphs thanks to the indefatigable Inspector Lecoq and his allies - one of whom is the charming Gypsy who provides an unexpected romantic interest for the Inspector himself! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Emile Gaboriau was a 19th century French writer and journalist best known for his detective stories. L'Affaire Lerouge (1866) was his first detective novel. This novel introduced a young police officer named Monsieur Lecoq, who was the hero in three of Gaboriau's later detective novels. Monsieur Lecoq was based on a real-life thief turned police officer, Eugène François Vi docq. Le Dossier n° 113 (File No. 113) was published in 1867. The story begins with an item in a local paper that reads, "A daring robbery, committed against one of our most eminent bankers, M. Andre Fauvel, caused great excitement this morning throughout the neighborhood of Rue de Provence. "The thieves, who were as skilful as they were bold, succeeded in making an entrance to the bank, in forcing the lock of a safe that has heretofore been considered impregnable, and in possessing themselves of the enormous sum of three hundred and fifty thousand francs in bank-notes. "The police, immediately informed of the robbery, displayed their accustomed zeal, and their efforts have been crowned with success. Already, it is said, P. B., a clerk in the bank, has been arrested, and there is every reason to hope that his accomplices will be speedily overtaken by the hand of justice."
