The Blind Barber

The golden age of the detective genre gifted us with numerous star names. The works of writers such as Agatha Christie, Gilbert Chesterton, Earl Stanley Gardner, Rex Stout, developed and perfected the detective genre, their novels, unconditionally recognized as classics,... are still beloved by readers today and serve as a benchmark for quality for subsequent generations of authors of detective stories. An honorable place in this constellation rightfully belongs to John Dickson Carr (1906–1977) — a virtuoso master of perfectly constructed 'impossible crimes in a locked room.' In 1933, in the novel 'The Witch's Cave,' John Dickson Carr first introduced the public to the amateur detective Dr. Gideon Fell. Then, in the novel 'The Three Coffins' (1934), also released under the title 'The Hollow Man,' Dr. Fell addressed the reader with the legendary 'Lecture on the Locked Room,' unexpectedly adding to his list of glorious achievements an unparalleled investigation of the mechanism behind one of the key plot schemes in detective literature. This collection, continuing the cycle of stories about the adventures of the ingenious and charming Dr. Gideon Fell, presents to the reader the iconic novel 'The Three Coffins,' as well as the novels 'The Blind Barber' (1934) and 'The Death Watch' (1935).
