loved by readers today and serve as a benchmark of quality for subsequent generations of authors of detective stories. A worthy place in this galaxy rightfully belongs to John Dickson Carr (1906–1977) — a virtuoso master of perfectly constructed "impossible crimes in a locked room." In 1933, in the novel "The Witch's Cabin," John Dickson Carr first introduced the amateur detective Dr. Gideon Fell to the public.

The mysterious murderer leaves no traces and disappears from the crime scene, as if... a ghost. It is time to find out whether any mystery is beyond Dr. Fell's capabilities, or even his ingenious mind will have to concede when it comes to mysteries of otherworldly origin?
