Publisher Description
A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection
The precursor to Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot: Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin is blessed with the gift of intuition, and he puts it to the test after a horrible murder in the Rue Morgue.
“The Murders in the Rue Morgue” is thought to be the first modern detective story, published by Edgar Allan Poe in 1841. In this classic tale the detective demonstrates the ineptitude of the police, the value of reason, and how it’s the seemingly least important details that often matter most. A landmark in the history of detective fiction. Selected from Vintage’s compact selection of Poe’s greatest work, Great Tales and Poems.
An eBook short.
