When the nearby town turns out to put out a fire on the estate of Valpinson, they find the owner, Count Claudieuse, shot to dead. The testimony of a village idiot and other evidences points out to M. de Boiscoran, a neighbor of the Count. Boiscoran refuses to provide an alibi for himself despite the begging of his fiancée, so she goes on a quest to discover the truth.

Emile Gaboriau (1833-1873) is an important figure in the history of detective fiction. A French journalist and novelist, he created the "roman policier" with a series of books involving private detective Monsieur Lecoq, who works logically. Lecoq was based on a real-life thief turned policeman named Francois Vidocq (1775-1857), whose memoirs mixed fiction and fact. Gaboriau's huge following was eclipsed by Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. Interestingly, Holmes may have been at least partly based on another of Gaboriau's characters, consulting detective Father Tabaret, whose methods Monsieur Lecoq adopts in the first Lecoq book.
