The Paris Mysteries

Three macabre and confounding mysteries for the first and greatest of detectives, Auguste Dupin

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

An apartment on the rue Morgue turned into a charnel house; the corpse of a shopgirl dragged from the Seine; a high-stakes game of political blackmail—three mysteries that have enthralled the whole of Paris, and baffled the city's police.

The brilliant Chevalier Auguste Dupin investigates—can he find the solution where so many others before him have failed?

These three stories from the pen of Edgar Allan Poe are some of the most influential ever written, widely praised and credited with inventing the detective genre.

This edition of The Paris Mysteries contains: 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Mystery of Marie Roget' and 'The Purloined Letter'.
