The golden age of detective fiction left many stellar names - A. Christie, G. K. Chesterton, G. Mitchell and others. In this bright galaxy, John Dickson Carr (1906-1977) occupies the most honorable place. Murder in a locked room, where there is no place for frantic chases and shootouts, and the circle of suspects is maximally limited, is the author's favorite technique. Carr draws the reader into a network of cleverly set traps, deceptive moves and subtle hints and invites him to take part in solving a cunning puzzle, unraveling the threads of "impossible" crimes.
A plane flying from Marseille to Paris makes an emergency landing near the Loire, and the passengers are forced to seek temporary shelter in the secluded Chateau de l'Isle. Sir Henry Merrivale is unexpectedly found among the guests of the castle, along with two agents of the British secret service. In addition, it is known that one of the most dangerous and elusive criminals in France, whom no one knows by sight, is in the castle, as well as the chief inspector of the French police. Dramatic events will not take long to come...
The novel is published in a new translation.
