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 detective Dr. Gideon Fell to the public. The character's appearance was presumably based on another master of the detective genre, Gilbert Chesterton, and his contributions to the history of detective fiction, according to most admirers of Carr's work, are truly worthy of respect. For example, in his essay "My Favorite Detectives," author Kingsley Amis called Dr. Fell "one of the three great successors of Sherlock Holmes."

This collection includes the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth novels in the Gideon Fell series, published for the first time in new translations. In the story of an impossible yet accomplished murder, told in the novel "Who Whispers in the Dark?" (1946), everything points to the mystical nature of the crime, and the cunning Dr. Fell must either believe it or dispel the gathering gloom...

Returning home literally "from the other world," intelligence officer Donald Holden, the hero of the novel "The Sleeping Sphinx" (1947), trembled to meet his friends and his beloved. However, what he was about to see and learn was beyond his wildest dreams...

Prosperous lawyer Patrick Butler, the hero of the novel "Above Suspicion" (1949), is self-assured and rarely loses. And when two poisoning cases—completely obvious from the prosecution's perspective—come his way, he unhesitatingly sets out to prove his clients' innocence, no matter the cost.
