> Locked-room murders, treasures snatched from right under noses, people who seem to vanish into thin air... Welcome to the bizarre world of the Impossible Crime, here celebrated in what is undoubtedly the finest-ever collection of its kind.

>Among the notable authors included are:

>Jacques Futrelle >Edward D. Hoch >John Dickson Carr >William Hope Hodgson >Arthur Porges >John Lutz >Bill Pronzini >Sax Rohmer >Hake Talbot >Edgar Wallace

>Most of the stories - all but two, in fact - have never appeared before in any book, and Hake Talbot's 'The Other Side' is here published for the first time anywhere, making this an essential volume for collectors and a delight for all who like their mysteries spiced with a dash of fantasy.

>Released as *The Art of the Impossible* in the UK.
