| Summary | "The Lerouge Case" by Emile Gaboriau is a detective novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story introduces the mysterious death of Widow Lerouge, whose sudden disappearance leads her neighbors to alert the police. As the investigation unfolds, various characters—including the diligent investigating magistrate M. Daburon and the keen detective Tabaret—navigate through clues and testimonies to uncover the truth behind the crime. At the start of the novel, the residents of La Jonchere grow concerned about the absence of Widow Lerouge, prompting them to seek police intervention. Upon entering her cottage, authorities discover a scene of chaos and horror: the widow’s lifeless body, signs of struggle, and evidence suggestive of foul play. As investigators sift through contradictory witness statements and delve into Lerouge's past, they unearth tantalizing hints about her potential wealth and mysterious connections, setting the stage for the unraveling of a complex plot involving deception, hidden identities, and dark secrets tied to the widow's life.
