"Two women have been brutally slain inside a locked fourth-floor room and yet one's body is outside the other is disturbingly and firmly stuffed up the chimney. Writing at a time before the term "detective" was coined Poe drew on no pre-existing trope of drawing room logical revelation. Such a conceit is now so overwhelmingly prevalent it's hard to imagine a time when it had yet to bore its way into any written story. Poe's Dupin defines the archetype applying logic objective facts and reason to solve the case in dramatic fashion." - Swanns Auction <br> Provenance: From the library of Edgar S.
