Classic Tales of Detection & Adventure

Classic Tales of Detection & Adventure Synopsis

Containing one of the best known and best loved detective novels of all time - The Murders in the Rue Morgue - this entertaining collection of Poe's work shows why he was considered a master of mystery. Also included in the book is The Mystery of Marie Roget, which was a sequel to the thrilling Murders in the Rue Morgue, as well as three other tales of detection and adventure, including "e;Thou Art the Man!"e;, "e;The Purloined Letter"e; and "e;The Unparelleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall"e;. Such was the influence of these works that the Mystery Writers of America named their awards after Poe and called them the Edgars.
