Behind every door lies a secret; beneath every staircase, a shadow; within every beautiful voice, perhaps a cry from the depths. The Gaston Leroux Library opens the locked rooms of one of France’s great masters of mystery and melodrama, presenting his books read in full. Enter the opera house, the chamber, the corridor, the crime scene—and listen closely, for the truth is never where it first appears.Public domain

    In which a sombre visitor delivers a mysterious sandalwood box to the narrator, professing it to be the bequest of the late Theophrastus Longuet, and then vanishes as enigmatically as he appeared. The narrator, initially wearied by the contents, soon finds himself drawn into a tale of such extraordinary nature that scepticism gives way to curious belief.
