When investigative journalist Joseph Rouletabille stumbles upon a secretive group of "Bohemians" (Romani), he becomes entangled in a mystery involving a stolen sacred book and a criminal mastermind known as "La Pieuvre"-The Octopus. As Rouletabille navigates hidden dangers, shifting allegiances, and cryptic clues, he must use his brilliant deductive skills to outwit his enemies. But with deception at every turn, can he unravel the truth before it's too late?

A gripping detective adventure by Gaston Leroux, The Octopus of Paris (also published as Rouletabille among the Bohemians and The Sleuth Hound) blends suspense, mystery, and intrigue in the tradition of classic crime fiction.
