Through the Wall (Illustrated Edition) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Locked-Room Detective MysteryBy Cleveland Moffett
Length12h 7m
About this audiobook
Through the Wall (Illustrated Edition) is a richly plotted early twentieth-century detective romance that transports the reader to Paris, where crime, performance, and psychological misdirection meet. Centered on the celebrated investigator Paul Coquenil, the novel combines the theatrical suspense of the feuilleton with the emerging logic of scientific detection. Its prose is brisk, visual, and melodramatically charged, while the illustrations sharpen its atmosphere of boulevards, prisons, salons, and shadowed interiors. In literary context, it belongs beside the post-Holmesian mystery, adapting the rational sleuth tradition to a cosmopolitan world of modern sensation. Cleveland Moffett (1863–1926), an American journalist, editor, and fiction writer, brought to the novel the habits of the reporter: attention to procedure, public scandal, and the mechanics of evidence. His career included work in major newspapers and magazine journalism, and his interest in science, criminology, and urban spectacle informs Coquenil's methods. Moffett's transatlantic experience also helps explain the novel's persuasive Parisian setting and its fascination with modern institutions. This edition is recommended to readers who enjoy classic detective fiction, historical mysteries, and illustrated popular literature. It offers both an absorbing puzzle and a revealing example of how crime fiction matured between Victorian sensation and the modern procedural.
This enriched edition has been carefully crafted to add value to your reading experience.
