Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Suppose you were locked into one of the most secure prisons in America at the turn of the twentieth century. You've been put into solitary confinement, with periodic inspections by the warden, whom you'd informed that you would escape in less than a week. How would you communicate with the outside, how would you smuggle in tools and weapons, and how would you finally break out? This was the situation confronting Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, aka The Thinking Machine, in "The Problem of Cell 13," one of the most famous "locked-room" mysteries ever written. Eventually The Thinking Machine did escape, and his method is known to generations of fans. Less well known, however, is the fact that Jacques Futrelle wrote many other stories about this unique detective. This volume presents twelve tales of The Thinking Machine, adventures that concern a perfect alibi and a perfect accusation, an impossible theft of a container of radium, a precise sealed room mystery, a flaming phantom, and other "impossible" situations. Rich in Edwardian period flavor, the realistic tales anticipate many of the major developments in modern crime fiction. AUTHOR: Journalist, mystery writer, and novelist Jacques Futrelle (18751912) is best remembered as the creator of Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, The Thinking Machine. Futrelle's stories achieved much acclaim in the United States, and the author was on his way home from a signing a contract for European publication rights when he perished in the Titanic disaster. A dozen tales star super sleuth Professor Van Dusen, aka The Thinking Machine. Loaded with Edwardian period flavor, the realistic tales anticipate many of the major developments in modern crime fiction.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Best "Thinking Machine" Detective Stories: The Problem of Cell 13 & 11 Other Stories by Jacques Futrelle is a classic collection of early 20th-century detective fiction featuring one of literature s most brilliant and unique sleuths Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, known as The Thinking Machine. Van Dusen is a genius logician who believes that any problem can be solved purely through the power of reason. In these twelve tightly plotted stories, including the famous The Problem of Cell 13, Van Dusen uses intellect, deduction, and scientific principles to unravel baffling mysteries from seemingly impossible escapes to perfect crimes with no apparent solution. Originally published in magazines like The Saturday Evening Post, these stories combine clever puzzles with crisp, engaging prose. Futrelle s creation is a precursor to characters like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot, and this collection remains a must-read for fans of classic detective tales and locked-room mysteries.…
