Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The first detective who started it all."But it is in matters beyond the limits of mere rule that the skill of the analyst is evinced. He makes in silence a host of observations and inferences...." 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' by Edgar Allan Poe is as the first true detective story in genre terms. The French detective Auguste Dupin, an amateur sleuth took the world by storm. Dupin thought like the criminal and used methods of deduction to reconstruct the crime and solve it. This volume collects all the Dupin stories (alas there are too few) for crime fiction buffs in one volume. Also included are 'The Mystery of Marie Rogêt' and the legendary 'The Purloined Letter.' "Each [of Poe's detective stories] is 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
