A provincial French town, a duke's château, a peasant girl the duke's son loves, a murder on the night of a village fire, and a confession extracted from the wrong man. Gaboriau built the French detective novel out of the police gazettes; this long novel is his most political — the vengeance is a whole life's work, and the machinery that convicts an innocent man is not corrupt, merely certain of itself.
