Book excerpt: "Murder on Saint Roch Street, a detective story written by the author of the Three Musketeers Alexandre Dumas (père), relates the investigation led by two friends in Paris: Edgar Poe and Alexandre Dumas who are the protagonists of the story. A mysterious crime of an extreme violence had been committed in Saint Roch Street. Will the two friends succeed in using their analytical skills to elucidate this mystery which the police were unable to solve? This investigation, which is the same as the one told by Edgar Allan Poe in The murders in the Rue Morgue, had a significant impact in the history of literature: it created a new type of novel--the detective story. But there is also an enigma in the enigma: did Edgar Poe really meet Alexandre Dumas in 1832? What would have been the purpose of his trip to Paris just the year of Les Miserables' barricades? Decoding the background chosen by Dumas for his story brings to light a mystery which surrounds his manuscript and some aspects of the lives of Alexandre Dumas and Edgar Allan Poe during a revolutionary period."--Back cover.
