Le Mystère de la chambre jaune by Gaston Leroux is a classic French detective novel.
It tells the story of a seemingly impossible crime: the young Mathilde Stangerson is attacked in a locked and sealed room, and her assailant
disappears without a trace. Reporter and amateur detective Joseph Rouletabille takes on the case, using logic and keen observation to
unravel the mystery. The novel is famous for its “locked-room” puzzle and explores themes of deduction, courage, and the battle between
reason and the seemingly impossible.
