A locked chamber, windows barred, no one hiding inside. The poor young lady unconscious, covered with blood, violent marks on her throat and a wound at her temple. The scientist’s revolver removed from its cabinet and sealed in the room with her. The only trace of her assailant is a large, bloody handprint on the wall. At a loss, the chief of the Sûreté telegraphs for the famous detective Frédéric Larsan to be assigned to the seemingly unsolvable case.

Une édition de référence du Mystère de la chambre jaune de Gaston Leroux, spécialement conçue pour la lecture sur les supports numériques. « "Est-ce qu’elle va encore nous empêcher de dormir, cette nuit ?" pensai-je, car il faut que je vous dise, monsieur, que, jusqu’à fin octobre, j’habite dans le grenier du pavillon, au-dessus de la chambre jaune, à seule fin que mademoiselle ne reste pas seule toute la nuit au fond du parc. C’est une idée de mademoiselle de passer la bonne saison dans le pavillon ; elle le trouve sans doute plus gai que le château et, depuis quatre ans qu’il est construit, elle ne manque jamais de s’y installer dès le printemps. Quand revient l’hiver, mademoiselle retourne au château, car dans la chambre jaune, il n’y a point de cheminée. » (Extrait du chapitre 1.)

Book Description
Like The Mystery of the Yellow Room, The Secret of the Night is a Joseph Rouletabille mystery. In The Mystery of the Yellow Room fictional detective Rouletabille investigated a complex and seemingly impossible crime - in which the criminal appears to disappear from a locked room! There've been so many locked-room mysteries since that it's become a subgenre - but there are folks who believe Gaston Leroux invented the form. (We hate assertions like that. Have you noticed how often things turn out to have been invented by monks in the middle ages, or by prehistoric Chinamen, or seventeenth-century Englishmen? - Heavy sigh.) John Dickson Carr, the master of locked-room mystery, named The Mystery of the Yellow Room as the "finest locked room tale ever written" in his 1935 novel the Hollow Man.

Book Description
Le Mystère de la chambre jaune est un roman policier de Gaston Leroux, paru en 1907. Il s'agit de la première aventure du jeune reporter Joseph Rouletabille. Publiée pour la première fois en douze livraisons dans le supplément littéraire de L'Illustration du 7 septembre au 30 novembre 1907, l'œuvre est reprise en volume non illustré en janvier 1908 chez Pierre Lafitte ; l'année suivante, face au succès, une nouvelle édition ressort illustrée par Édouard Loëvy et José Simont1. Il s'agit de l'un des modèles des romans dits d'« énigme en chambre close ». « Leroux, qui voulait faire mieux que Conan Doyle et plus complet que Poe, a construit une intrigue à la rigueur géométrique qui sera admirée par Agatha Christie »2. Par le truchement d'Hercule Poirot, la romancière anglaise fait l'éloge du roman de Gaston Leroux dans Les Pendules. Dans Trois cercueils se refermeront de l'auteur américain et grand spécialiste des énigmes de chambre close John Dickson Carr, c'est au tour du Dr Gideon Fell de rendre hommage à l'œuvre de Leroux. Mais au-delà de son intrigue, le grand succès remporté par Le Mystère de la chambre jaune tient également aux quelques éléments poétiques, voire absurdes, qui émaillent le récit et furent encensés par les surréalistes et par Jean Cocteau, auteur pour le roman de Leroux d'une préface dithyrambique.
