Before you start, here are a few tips. To be a good detective you
need the same skills as a good card-player. You must consider and
examine every detail, not just the obvious ones. You have to
observe every change in a person's face, everything they say,
everything they do and you must always expect the unexpected. And
finally, you must remember it all. In this most strange tale,
you'll see a friend of mine at work. He has an astonishingly
analytical mind. So, pit your own powers of analysis against his -
and against mine. Can you solve the mystery of the murders in the
Rue Morgue?
