Edgar Allan Poe is considered the founder of modern detective fiction. With C. Auguste Dupin, he created one of the most famous detective characters in literature, who also served as an inspiration for Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. C. Auguste Dupin not only possesses a razor-sharp intellect and an analytical mind, but he also has the rare ability to understand the thought processes of others. Thanks to these skills, he is able to solve the most challenging cases. It’s no wonder that even the Paris police prefecture seeks his assistance! The eerie murders in the Rue Morgue, the mystery of the murdered Marie Rogêt, and the theft of a letter with far-reaching consequences—three seemingly unsolvable cases that baffle the police, yet Dupin is soon on the trail of the culprits. This volume gathers the most thrilling detective stories from the master.
