The golden age of detective fiction has given us many famous names. The works of such writers as Agatha Christie, Gilbert Chesterton, Earl Stanley Gardner, and Rex Stout developed and perfected the detective genre, and their novels, which are unconditionally recognized as classics, are still loved by readers and are the standard of quality for subsequent generations of detective story authors. A place of honor in this galaxy rightfully belongs to John Dixon Carr (1906-1977), a virtuoso master of perfectly constructed "impossible crimes in a locked room."In 1933, in the novel The Witch's Lair, John Dixon Carr introduced the amateur detective Dr. Gideon Fell to the public for the first time. And then, in the novel "Three Coffins" (1934), also published as "The Hollow Man," Dr. Fell addressed the reader with the legendary "Lecture on the Locked Room," unexpectedly adding to the list of his glorious achievements an unsurpassed study of the mechanism of one of the key plot schemes of detective fiction.This collection, continuing the cycle of stories about the adventures of the cunning and charming Dr. Gideon Fell, presents to the reader the landmark novel "Three Coffins", as well as the novels "The Blind Barber" (1934) and "The Hours of Death" (1935).
