The Murders in the Rue Morgue
by Edgar Allan Poe
The room was on the fourth floor and the door was locked - with a key from the inside. The windows were closed and fastened - inside. The chimney was too narrow for the cat to make its way. So how did the killer escape? And who were the two angry voices heard by neighbors as they ran up the stairs? No one in Paris has found an answer to this mystery. Except Auguste Dupain, who can see more and think more clearly than other people. Everyone had answers to their secrets, but only a wise person could see them. "Murders in the Morgue," written by Edgar Allan Poe, is considered the first true detective.
