El caso Lerouge esconsiderada una de las primeras novelas policíacas alguna vez escrita. Emil Gaboriau relata con mano maestra un caso policial que atrapa al lector desde el primer capítulo con la historia del asesinato de una misteriosa viuda con un pasado secreto, cuyo cadáver encuentra la policía tumbado en el suelo del salón con signos de violencia luego de forzar la puerta de su casa. Publicada por entregas en 1895, El caso Lerouge tiene una parte folletinesca magníficamente concebida para que el lector se interese cada vez por la historia. Tenemos un crimen y un equipo de investigadores que tratará de resolverlo. Gaboriau se sentía fascinado por la labor de la policía, y estaba muy al corriente de las operaciones de la Sûreté, así que disfrutaremos de detalladas descripciones del trabajo de la policía, anteponiendo en cualquier caso la justicia a todo lo demás. No importan las clases sociales de los sospechosos, todos se encuentran bajo el punto de mira de la policía y deberán probar su inocencia. Quien tomará las riendas de la investigación será Pére Tabaret, un antiguo trabajador del Monte de Piedad, que ejercerá de detective aficionado demostrando una magnífica intuición y una gran inteligencia al escuchar lo que todos los implicados tienen que decir. A pesar de que en esta historia la relevancia del personaje de Lecoq no es grande, es la primera aparición del detective creado por Gaboriau que sentará las bases que seguirán algunos detectives tan importantes como Poirot, Maigret o el mismo Holmes.
