We are thrilled to welcome John Dickson Carr into the Crime
Classics series with his first novel, a brooding locked room
mystery in the gathering dusk of the French capital. In the
smoke-wreathed gloom of a Parisian salon, Inspector Bencolin has
summoned his allies to discuss a peculiar case. A would-be
murderer, imprisoned for his attempt to kill his wife, has escaped
and is known to have visited a plastic surgeon. His whereabouts
remain a mystery, though with his former wife poised to marry
another, Bencolin predicts his return. Sure enough, the Inspector's
worst suspicions are realized when the beheaded body of the new
suitor is discovered in a locked room of the salon, with no
apparent exit. Bencolin sets off into the Parisian night to unravel
the dumbfounding mystery and track down the sadistic killer.
