The golden age of detective fiction produced many stellar names—A. Christie, G.K. Chesterton, H.R. Mitchell, and others. Among this illustrious group, John Dickson Carr (1906–1977) occupies a prominent place. Carr's works avoid frantic chases and shootouts, and the pool of suspects is kept as narrow as possible. The locked-room murder is the author's favorite plot device. Carr draws the reader into a web of deception, false clues, and subtle hints, inviting them to participate in solving a cunning puzzle, unraveling the threads of "impossible" crimes.

After making his will, Sir Dennis Blystone left his home and was found a few hours later by his daughter in the apartment of a certain Felix Hay. The apartment's owner had been stabbed to death, and Blystone and two other guests were under the influence of atropine. Apparently, they were poisoned with drinks that all three swore were prepared before their eyes. Henry Merrivale will need all his ingenuity to unravel the complex web of circumstances and discover the killer.
