Locked-room murders, treasures snatched from right under noses, people who seem to vanish into thin air... Welcome to the bizarre world of the Impossible Crime, here celebrated in what is undoubtedly the finest-ever collection of its kind.
Editors Jack Adrian and Robert Adey are two connoisseurs of this intriguing genre, and they have drawn on all their expertise and knowledge for this vastly entertaining book.
Among the notable authors included are:
Jacques Futrelle
Edward D. Hoch
John Dickson Carr
William Hope Hodgson
Arthur Porges
John Lutz
Bill Pronzini
Sax Rohmer
Hake Talbot
Edgar Wallace
Most of the stories - all but two, in fact - have never appeared before in any book, and Hake Talbot's 'The Other Side' is here published for the first time anywhere, making this an essential volume for collectors and a delight for all who like their mysteries spiced with a dash of fantasy.
Released as The Art of the Impossible in the UK.
