“A root from which a whole literature has developed . . . Where was the detective story until Poe breathed the breath of life into it?” —Arthur Conan Doyle
An apartment on the rue Morgue turned into a charnel house; the corpse of a shopgirl dragged from the Seine; a high-stakes game of political blackmail—3 mysteries that have enthralled the whole of Paris and baffled the city’s police. The brilliant Chevalier Auguste Dupin investigates—but can he find the solution where so many others before him have failed?
Included:
• “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”
• “The Mystery of Marie Rogêt”
• “The Purloined Letter”
These 3 stories from the pen of Edgar Allan Poe are some of the most influential ever written, widely praised and credited with inventing the detective genre. Featuring stunning gold foiling, this hardcover deluxe edition is the perfect gift for Poe and mystery fans!
