The Mystery of the Yellow Room. The Ghost of the Lady in Black

Gaston Leroux is a classic author of detective and mystical novels, known for one of the most famous French works of all time - 'The Phantom of the Opera'. For over a century, his books have been adapted into films and series, staged as plays and musicals. This edition includes two novels by Leroux about the adventures of the reporter Joseph Rouletabille: 'The Mystery of the Yellow Room' and 'The Ghosts of the Lady in Black'. 'The Mystery of the Yellow Room' is perhaps the most famous detective novel about a crime in a hermetically sealed space. In a castle near Paris, an 'impossible' crime is committed - a murder in a closed room. The police are at a loss, wondering about the motives of the criminal and how they managed to enter the locked room from the inside, and then disappear unnoticed. However, the young reporter Joseph Rouletabille is convinced that there are no unsolvable mysteries... In the novel 'The Ghosts of the Lady in Black', which is a continuation of 'The Mystery of the Yellow Room', Joseph Rouletabille engages in a duel with a cunning criminal who is a master of disguise.
