Emile Gaborio (1832-1873) was a French writer, one of the founders of the detective genre. His early books of domestic and historical plan were not successful, but his first experience in the detective genre ("The Case of Lerouge", 1866) caused a lively response in society, looking for a "guardian angel" in the face of clever and dexterous detective. This is what became the hero of almost all of Gaborio's works, police inspector Lecoq. The influence of Gaborio on European literature is undoubted: his novel "Mr. Lecoq" formed the basis of Collins' book "The Moonstone"; Stevenson imitated him in detective novels (especially in "The Diamond of the Rajah"); the famous Conan Doyle grew entirely out of the work of Gaborio, and Sherlock Holmes - just the quintessence of the type of detective drawn by him; Edgar Wallace also used the legacy of Gaborio, not to mention countless small imitators. The novel published here, Case No. 113, is typical of Gaborio. It makes absolutely no difference where the crime is committed - in urban neighborhoods or in the rural wilderness. What matters is who is investigating it. Criminals cannot escape justice when Inspector Lecoq takes up the case. His sophisticated mind, exquisite logic and deductive method help the detective to solve the most incredible crimes.
