This is the sequel to his
The Mystery of the Yellow Room, which is in the public domain and is a great locked room mystery. This title should be in PD, too, but the English translation is not. (The French version is actually available here at MobileRead.) Until now the cheapest English version was the Dedalus version for $9.99 at Amazon. The price has now increased to $10.49. This particular version was done by Barnes and Noble digital imprint (Sterling) and is also available there for $1.99.
Quote:
In this spine-tingling sequel to Leroux's The Mystery of the Yellow Room, the reader again finds journalist-turned-detective Joseph Rouletabille pitted against his rival and enemy Frédéric Larson. Rouletabille attempts to untangle the complexities of a vicious crime committed in the Square Tower. Brimming with psychological twists and turns, readers will need all of their wits about them to deduce the events that transpired in this classic locked-room mystery.
