A bank safe is robbed. Only two men have both the key and the combination to the safe. The police naturally look to the employee rather than the owner of the bank. But Monsieur Lecoq, as always, sees what everyone else misses. Was it one of the two? Or was it a seemingly-impossible third party? Only Lecoq will be able to determine it. But why doesn’t he want his involvement in the case known?

Like Gaboriau’s two novels before it, File No. 113 is a mystery with a Dickensian tragedy behind it. Men and women of good character, of bad character, and good character who make bad choices abound, and remind us that the best mysteries have great personalities inhabiting them.

Work Description

"Un vol important vient d'être commis rue de Provence à Paris, au préjudice de la banque Fauvel. Or, deux personnes seulement connaissaient la combinaison du coffre duquel 300000 francs ont été soustraits... Après une enquête sommaire, la police arrête Prosper Bertomy, le caissier principal. Mais une seconde enquête commence, menée par l'inspecteur Fanferlot, surnommé l'Ecureuil, qui découvre l'existence de Nina Gipsy, une mystérieuse jeune femme entretenue par le caissier... Fanferlot fait alors appel au redoutable policier Lecoq. Aux côtés de celui-ci, il remonte la piste d'une affaire beaucoup plus complexe. Et nous voilà transportés des années en arrière, sous la Restauration, tandis que l'auteur nous dévoile une mystification d'envergure, historique et tout autant criminelle."--Back cover.
