Vol. 3: LOCKED ROOM PUZZLES
Recently, Academy Mystery Novellas were launched as the beginning of a series of previously uncollected short mystery
novels by masters.
Now #3 in the continuing series is the genre of LOCKED ROOM PUZZLES, four novellas that are ingenious in construction
and solution.
JOHN DICKSON CARR, "The Third Bullet" Charles Mortlake is found murdered in a room
to which no one could have had access.
BILL PRONZINI, "Booktaker" The Nameless Detective must find out how valuable books and documents have been
stolen from an antiquarian bookshop with a faultless alarm system.
CLAYTON RAWSON, "From Another World" Two people are found apparently murdered in a sealed room, and Merlini, the famous magician,
must discover how and why the crimes were committed.
EDWARD D. HOCH, "Day of the Wizard" The inscrutible Simon Ark must solve the mystery of a wrecked plane in the desert and its strange
cargo, an enigmatic magician and a drugged blonde.
