The Golden Age of Detective Fiction gave us many stellar names. A place of honor among this constellation rightfully belongs to John Dickson Carr (1906–1977), a virtuoso master of perfectly constructed "impossible locked-room crimes." In 1933, John Dickson Carr first introduced the amateur sleuth Dr. Gideon Fell to the public, whose contributions to the history of detective fiction, according to Carr's admirers, are truly worthy of respect. This collection includes the novels "Panic in Box C" (1966) and "In the Dark of the Moon" (1967), the twenty-second and twenty-third Gideon Fell stories, published for the first time in new translations. The book also includes a selection of fascinating short stories and radio plays about Gideon Fell from over the years.
