Description

Containing one of the best known and best loved detective novels of all time – The Murders in the Rue Morgue – this entertaining collection of Poe s work shows why he was considered a master of mystery. Also included in the book is The Mystery of Marie Rogêt, which was a sequel to the thrilling Murders in the Rue Morgue, as well as three other tales of detection and adventure, including Thou Art the Man! , The Purloined Letter and The Unparelleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall . Such was the influence of these works that the Mystery Writers of America named their awards after Poe and called them the Edgars.
