This anthology contains 24 "stories," 22 of which are narrative fiction ("The First Locked Room" is a reconstruction of a true crime by Lillian de la Torre, and "The Adventure of the Man Who Could Double the Size of Diamonds" is a radio play by Ellery Queen). A few of its stories have frequently been reprinted elsewhere (Wilkie Collins's "A Terribly Strange Bed," G. K. Chesterton's "The Invisible Man," and Clayton Rawson's "Off the Face of the Earth"), but most of them will be new to most readers.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
