Among all of Carr's ingenious crime scenes, the present case is one of the best known: a dead man is found strangled in the middle of a clay tennis court just after a storm. In the damp dirt, there is one set of footsteps--his own--leading back to the grass; the court is otherwise untouched.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It seems like a case of sudden death but, in order to find who's at fault, the authorities must first solve the mystery of the body's puzzling position. The bafflement has reached a harried volley by the time ace amateur sleuth Dr. Gideon Fell gets involved, bringing to the case a wit capable of cutting through the racket and discovering the truth. With brilliant deductive reasoning and plenty of humor, Fell untethers a confounding set of clues in search of a diabolical killer and a bizarre murder method, serving up a dazzling stroke of genius to expose whodunit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Reissued for the first time this century, \u003cem\u003eThe Problem of the Wire Cage\u003c\/em\u003e is an atmospheric and amusing Golden Age mystery with a memorable puzzle at its center, perfect for both long-time fans and first-time readers of John Dickson Carr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Mystery Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613164860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.50w x 1.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2023 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Dickson Carr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52284343124149,"sku":"9781613164860","price":22.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ce2c99e0-b7f3-4e64-9b34-702fe6227f76.jpg?v=1771990732","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-problem-of-the-wire-cage-a-gideon-fell-mystery-9781613164860","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
