Crippen \u0026amp; Landru has published some of the best locked rooms mysteries with collections by John Dickson Carr and Edward Hoch. While locked rooms have been around since Edgar Allan Poe, we are enjoying the new generation of talented mystery authors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of these clever new authors is Tom Mead, who pens the Joseph Spector series. In three novels and numerous short stories, Mead has shown that Golden Age mysteries are not gone-or forgotten. Spector appears in all but two of the stories in this collection. (One of non-Spector works is \"The Wager,\" the additional chapbook included with the clothbound signed and numbered edition.) Three of the remaining stories are new- never been published until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo read the brand-new stories here and match wits with Joseph Spector - and Tom Mead. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crippen \u0026amp; Landru Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936363902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Tom Mead","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44723213041845,"sku":"9781936363902","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bc2fbda8-da0f-4333-96d7-fef08910d6af.jpg?v=1729007081","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-indian-rope-trick-and-other-violent-entertainments-9781936363902","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
