This unique collection features fourteen of the most puzzling locked-room mysteries from some of the finest writers in the genre, including household names like John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen, and Cornell Woolrich. Selected by Edgar Award-winning anthologist Otto Penzler, this book takes the reader on an unforgettable journey into the Golden Age of mystery writing, promising hours of entertainment for armchair detectives young and old. ‘Superb . . .
