Thank you for this, especially "The Little Old Man of Batignolles". Julian Symons, in his book "Bloody Murder", says that "Monsieur Lecoq" is the best of Gaboriau’s novels but “Le Petit Vieux de Batignolles” is undoubtedly his finest piece of work. I have a physical copy of the story but the font is too small for my old eyes, so Past Masters 34 is perfect. Cheers!
