Product Description
by Bill Pronzini (Author)
Nineteen ingenious crime puzzle mysteries inspired by the master of the locked room mystery, John Dickson Carr-some of them featuring Nameless Detective and Carpenter & Quincannon ... tales involving locked rooms, bizarre vanishings, curious murder methods and ghostly apparitions ... in settings as diverse as a prison execution shed, a magic show, a deserted islet, a poker game, a bookshop, a lumber camp, a brewery, and the depths of a gold mine ...
Crimes committed in sealed rooms, buildings, and crypts, on virgin sand and snow, in places under constant guard or observation ... crimes concerning the mysterious disappearances of people, weapons, valuables, vehicles, even houses and other large structures.
Twisted and ingenious mysteries from the master of mystery himself-Bill Pronzini!
