Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A murder is discovered. The authorities quickly arrest an obvious suspect. A detective spends hours at the scene in disguise before making himself known, and proceeds to minutely examine the evidence with the assistance of a doctor, among others, before proclaiming the answer lies in a completely different direction. One would be forgiven for thinking the detective must be a certain famous Englishman and his doctor companion. But this detective is French rather than English, a professional working for the police rather than an amateur, and indulges in candy lozenges rather than cocaine. If there is a straight line between Poe’s Dupin and Doyle’s Holmes, then Gaboriau’s Lecoq lies right in the middle of it. He is a master of disguise, he is proud and sometimes arrogant, he notices infinitesimal things others do not, he makes great leaps in deduction while others are struggling to take small steps. He is both strikingly similar and distinctly different than his more famous English “cousin.” Although Monsieur Lecoq appeared in Gaboriau’s first novel, there he played only a minor part. Here, he is the main attraction. Solving the murder of a countess and disappearance of a count requires all of Lecoq’s skills, and as he steadily unravels the mystery one sees the debt that is owed by all who came after him.

Excerpt:"On the bank of the river, among the stumps and flags, was stretched a woman's body. Her long, dishevelled locks lay among the water-shrubs; her dress—of gray silk—was soiled with mire and blood. All the upper part of the body lay in shallow water, and her face had sunk in the mud. "A murder!" muttered Philippe, whose voice trembled. "That's certain," responded Jean, in an indifferent tone. "But who can this woman be? Really one would say, the countess."

The plot, which is set in a small French village, follows renowned detective Monsieur Lecoq as he deals with a complicated murder investigation. Madame d'Orbigny, a wealthy widow, is discovered dead in her home, and her son Gaston is the main suspect. Lecoq, though, is certain of Gaston's innocence and begins his investigation. The characters come to life thanks to Gaboriau's deft narrative and thorough attention to detail, which also keeps readers fascinated in the mystery as it develops. Fans of traditional detective fiction will find "The Mystery of Orcival" to be an intriguing read as it examines themes of deceit, treachery, and the pursuit of justice. The book is evidence of Gaboriau's effect on the genre because of its captivating plot and well-rounded characters.
