The book was called The Mystery of the Yellow Room. In 1907, he used his admiration for authors Edgar Allan Poe and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle develop the character of a young detective, who solves an impossible crime committed in a locked room. After traveling around the world for quite some time, Leroux returned to Paris to settle down and become a novelist.
However, Leroux landed a job on the daily newspaper, L’Echo de Paris, in 1890 and was thrilled when asked to combine his knowledge of law and love of the theater as a court reporter and drama critic.
