Gaborio is one of the founders and a recognized master of the detective genre. In the middle of the XIX century, his books about Lecke were sold out at an incredible speed. What did the readers around the world have the image of the detective invented by him?
Lecok does not look like a typical hero of his time - say, Captain Thracass Theophilus Gauthier. But he looks very little to an ordinary detective. He trusts gossip more about the crime than the conclusions of the official investigation. He acts quickly and imperceptibly, trying not to attract attention. He is always focused on trifles and doubts that it seems obvious to everyone. He can afford a caustic remark, but at the same time smart enough not to make his enemies among less insightful colleagues. He is a person without a face, an excellent actor, a master of reincarnation, who can beyond recognition to change his appearance, gait and voice. And he is perfectly educated and can carry out any perfect crime in the mind. “With such abilities, you can be either a famous thief or a famous detective,” in this definition of his talent a clear reference to the life history of Vidok, the famous French criminal, has become one of the first private detectives
