Poe's three classic tales of mystery and detectionWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MATTHEW PEARLEdgar Allan Poe invented detective fiction with these three mesmerising stories of a young eccentric named C. Auguste Dupin- 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', 'The Mystery of Marie Rogat' and 'The Purloined Letter'. Dorothy L. Sayers would later describe these tales as 'almost a complete manual of detective theory and practice'.
