The Murders in the Rue Morgue
by Edgar Allan Poe

The Murders in the Rue Morgue is thought to be the first modern detective story, published by Edgar Allan Poe in 1841. In this classic tale the detective demonstrates the ineptitude of the police, the value of reason, and how it’s the seemingly least important details that often matter most. A landmark in the history of detective fiction. (annotation courtesy of https://ipage.ingramcontent.com)
