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.

The novel "The Riddle of the Red Widow" (1935) continues the series of books about the charming and eccentric detective Henry Merrivale. This work is the quintessence of stories about murders in a "locked room". In a London mansion, which in the past was called the House of the Executioner, several people have gathered to spend time there in a very unusual way. The participants of the evening intend to draw cards and determine who of them will go to the room of the Red Widow, locked more than half a century ago. According to family legend, whoever spends two hours alone in this room will not leave it alive. Will it be possible to dispel this legend, or will someone become the next victim of the Red Widow?..

The novel is published in a new translation.
