The golden age of detective fiction produced many stellar names—A. Christie, G.K. Chesterton, H.L. Leroux, and others. Among this illustrious group, John Dickson Carr (1906–1977) occupies a place of honor. The "locked-room murder," which avoids frantic chases and shootouts and keeps the pool of suspects as narrow as possible, is the author's favorite technique. Carr lures the reader into a web of cleverly laid traps, false clues, deceptions, and subtle hints, inviting them to participate in solving a cunning puzzle.

This edition includes the novels "The Curse of the Bronze Lamp," "My Late Wives," and "The Skeleton in the Clock," which continue the series about Henry Merrivale, the celebrated detective and baronet, eccentric and capricious, with a rare ability to find himself in comical situations, solve the mysteries of locked rooms, find missing persons, and interpret miracles while solving "impossible crimes."

The novels are presented in new translations.
