Eleven classic whodunits starring master sleuths such as Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, and Father Brown. A superstar lineup of detectives?including Sherlock Holmes, C. Auguste Dupin, and Hercule Poirot?headlines this elegant leather-bound edition of classic mystery stories. Short stories such as Edgar Allan Poe?s ?The Murders in the Rue Morgue? and G. K. Chesterton?s ?The Blue Cross? are ideal for a cozy evening by the fire, while novels like Agatha Christie?s The Murder on the Links and Jules Verne?s An Antarctic Mystery will keep you engrossed for days.
