Description:

John Dickson Carr has been called (well, not by me) the greatest mystery writer of all time. He specialized in crime that was apparently impossible and possibly supernatural, and he is the ultimate master of the locked-room mystery. Among mystery lovers, his primary detectives, Dr. Gideon Fell and Sir Henry Merrivale, are legendary. Carr always “played fair” with his readers, in terms of clues and ultimate solutions.

Although Carr wrote mostly in the early half of the Twentieth Century, these vintage paperbacks are largely from the 1960s. Their condition is from excellent to fair. $56.
