Mystery & Crime

The pattern every mystery still follows.

The locked room, the impossible alibi, the detective who sees what the police cannot. Everything the genre does today was invented here, usually in a single decade, and usually better than the imitations that followed. Each edition is complete and newly set in modern English.
