The Dupin Mysteries with The Gold Bug (Capuchin Classics)

Masterpieces of the macabre and suspense, Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories have sent shivers down the spines of generations of readers. Of these, arguably none are as chilling as The Dupin Mysteries. In "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "The Purloined Letter," and "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt," shrewd amateur detective Chevalier Auguste Dupin embarks on solving some of the darkest and most suspenseful mysteries ever written. Dupin was the original great literary detective, with these three mysteries spawning countless fictional tributes in detective stories ever since. Also included is another of Poe’s masterworks, the intriguing cryptographic mystery "The Gold Bug."
