The golden age of detective fiction left many stellar names - A. Christie, G. K. Chesterton, G. Mitchell, etc. 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 placed traps, deceptive moves and subtle hints and invites him to take part in solving a cunning puzzle, unraveling the threads of "impossible" crimes.
In the novel "The Murders in the White Monastery" (1934), the reader will again meet the charming and eccentric Sir Henry Merrivale, who was recognized as one of the most extraordinary detectives in detective literature. A young diplomat named James Bennett, Sir Henry's American nephew, arrives in London and receives an invitation to spend Christmas in Surrey, at the White Monastery estate. Among the guests is a Hollywood movie star whom Bennett met in America, as well as her large retinue. Bennett is tormented by grave forebodings, and he turns to Merrivale for advice...
The novel is published in a new translation.
