En la aldea de Orcival, unos pescadores furtivos han descubierto el cadáver de una mujer, la Condesa de Trémorel. No muy lejos de allí, el castillo en el que habitaba la víctima ha sido profusamente registrado, y la policía no halla rastro alguno del Conde de Trémorel, esposo de la víctima.Enviado por la Prefectura de Policía, el agente Lecoq, el más hábil investigador del cuerpo, es capaz de establecer los elementos del terrible crimen.Pero aunque cuenta con un elaborado plan para desentrañar el misterio, Lecoq es consciente de que el resultado de sus pesquisas se presenta preocupantemente incierto.Émile Gaboriau (1832-1873) fue un escritor y periodista francés, considerado uno de los padres del género de la novela policíaca. Nacido en la localidad francesa de Saujon, estudió derecho en París antes de dedicarse a la escritura. Su primer éxito literario llegó con la publicación de su novela El proceso Lerouge en 1866, que introdujo al personaje del policía Lecoq, su detective de cabecera en muchas más obras, y estableció muchos de los elementos que se han convertido en clásicos del género de la novela de misterio.
