| Publisher Description: Edgar Allan Poe is the undisputed originator of the detective story. His brilliant, imaginative sleuth C. Auguste Dupin set the stage for eccentric, logic wielding investigators like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot.

The story titles are: "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Mystery of Marie Roget," "The Purloined Letter," and "Thou Art the Man." |
