Among these pages you’ll find stories with evocative titles like “The Flying Death”, “The Man From Nowhere”, “A Terribly Strange Bed”, and “The Theft of the Bermuda Penny”, not to mention appearances by some of the cleverest characters in all of crime, including Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, Georges Simenon’s Jules Maigret, Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot, Dashiell Hammett’s Continental Op, and many more.Featuring• Unconventional means of murder• Pilfered jewels• Shocking solutionsIncludes• Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, the first detective story and the first locked-room mystery• Masters of the short story form: Edward D.
