These three classic crime novels, written in the 1840s, set the pattern for the great detective novels of the 20th century…

In The Murders of the Rue Morgue, Poe introduced the figure of the Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin, a young Parisian of independent means, who by logical appraisal and cool deduction penetrates the mysteries that baffle the authorities. Though being outside the formal arm of the law himself, Dupin is the pioneering figure in crime detection and deals, in his inimitable style with the body in the chimney, the body in the river, and the 'simple yet odd' problem of how a document came to be purloined from royal apartments.
