The golden age of detective has given us many star names. The works of such writers as Agatha Christie, Gilbert Chesterton, Earl Stanley Gardner, Rex Stout, developed and improved the detective genre, their novels, unconditionally recognized as classics, are still loved by readers and are a standard of quality for subsequent generations of detective stories. The place of honor in this galaxy rightfully belongs to John Dixon Carr (1906-1977), a virtuoso master of perfectly constructed "impossible crimes in a locked room."
In 1933, in the novel The Witch's Lair, John Dixon Carr first introduced the amateur detective Dr. Gideon Fell to the public. And then, in the novel “Three coffins” (1934), also published under the title “The Hollow Man”, Dr. Fell addressed the reader with the legendary “Lecture on the Locked Room”, unexpectedly adding to the list of his glorious achievements with an unsurpassed study of the mechanism of one of the key plot schemes of detective literature.
This collection, which continues the cycle of stories about the adventures of the cunning and charming Dr. Gideon Fell, presents to the reader the landmark novel “Three coffins”, as well as the novels “The Blind Barber” (1934) and “The Clock of Death” (1935).
