| book description |

Fourteen impossible crimes from the American masters of the form. Locked-room mysteries have baffled and delighted readers for generations. They always begin with a seemingly impossible crime – a body found inside a windowless room that’s been locked from the inside, for example – and then end with an ingenious and satisfying solution. This unique collection features fourteen of the finest locked-room mysteries from some of the best writers in the genre, including household names like John Dickson-Carr, Ellery Queen, Clayton Rawson, Stuart Palmer, Frederic Brown and Cornell Woolrich. Selected by Edgar Award-winning mystery expert and anthologist Otto Penzler, this book takes the reader on an unforgettable journey into the Golden Age of American mystery writing, promising hours of entertainment for armchair detectives young and old.
