She Died Like a Lady

The golden age of the detective left many star names: A. Christie, G. K. Chesterton, G. Mitchell, and others.

In this bright constellation, John Dickson Carr (1906-1977) occupies the most honored place. Murder in a locked room, where there is no place for wild chases and shootouts, and the circle of suspects is maximally limited, is the author's favorite device. Carr entangles the reader in a web of cleverly laid traps, deceptive moves, and subtle hints, inviting them to participate in solving a cunning puzzle, unraveling the threads of "impossible" crimes.

This edition publishes the novels of J. D. Carr "The Golden Man," "She Died Like a Lady," and "He Could Never Have Killed Patience"; the works are written under the pseudonym Carter Dickson and are part of the series about the whimsical and charming Sir Henry Merrivale, in whose portrait contemporaries easily recognized features of Winston Churchill.

The novels are published in a new translation.
