""Where was the detective story until Poe breathed the breath of
life into it?" --Arthur Conan Doyle" In "The Murders in the Rue
Morgue," all of Paris is in shock following the ghastly murder of
two women--but with all witnesses claiming to have heard the
suspect speak a different language, the police are stumped. When
Dupin finds a suspicious hair at the crime scene, and places an
advert in the newspaper asking if anyone has lost an
"Ourang-Outang," things take an unexpected turn. In "The Mystery of
Marie Roget," Dupin and his sidekick undertake to solve the murder
of the beautiful young woman who works in a perfume shop, whose
body is found floating in the Seine. "The Purloined Letter," the
final story, finds Dupin engaged on a matter of national
importance: a highly compromising letter has been pilfered from the
Queen's private drawing room. The police know who the unscrupulous
culprit is, but they can not find the letter, and therefore are
unable to pin the crime on him. It it is up to Dupin to solve the
case--which he does, with characteristic flair. A master of
rational deduction and intellectual insight, and protoype for
Holmes and Poirot, Dupin sees things for what they are, rather than
what they appear to be.
