«Le Petit Vieux des Batignolles» is the detective novel by Émile Gaboriau, published by Flammarion in paperback (128 pages, in French).
In the Parisian neighborhood of Batignolles, an old man is found dead in his home. Letters written in his blood seem to point to the culprit, but detective Méchinet and student Godeuil suspect the evidence is too easy. Each clue complicates the investigation while the suspect insists on confessing to a crime he may not have committed.
Work originally published in 1876; this edition belongs to the Étonnantiss!mes collection and includes a preface by Fabien Clavel and illustrations by Virginie Berthemet.
Given its educational focus, it is intended for secondary school students approaching reading in the original version.
Étienne Émile Gaboriau was a French writer, novelist, journalist, and a pioneer of detective fiction.
