Edgar Allan Poe
Paperback
“Now, brought to this conclusion in so unequivocal a manner as we are, it is not our part, as reasoners, to reject it on account of apparent impossibilities. It is only left for us to prove that these apparent ‘impossibilities’ are, in reality, not such.”
Before Sherlock Holmes, there was C. Auguste Dupin. This volume collects Edgar Allan Poe’s three groundbreaking detective tales: “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “The Mystery of Marie Rogêt,” and “The Purloined Letter”. Dupin is a brilliant Parisian analyst who uses observation, logic, and psychological insight to solve crimes that baffle the police. Dark, atmospheric, and intellectually gripping, Poe’s Dupin stories established many of the conventions that became foundational to the genre of detective fiction. The Case Files of C. Auguste Dupin is an essential collection for readers interested in classic detective mysteries.
