About the Author:
John Dickson Carr said of Edward D. Hoch, "Satan himself would be proud of his ingenuity." A master storyteller, Hoch is former President of the Mystery Writers of America, the recipient of an Edgar in the short-story category, and today's major exponent of the challenge-to-the-reader detective story. Diagnosis: Impossible is the finest collection of impossible crime stories since the work of John Dickson Carr—or perhaps even of Satan himself.
