The Perfect Crime

Introducing the first installment in a classic detective series from HarperCollins, this audiobook presents "The Big Bow Mystery," the world's original locked-room mystery by Israel Zangwill, first published in 1891. Featuring a perplexing crime where a man is murdered under seemingly impossible circumstances, this story has profoundly influenced the genre of crime fiction. Revived nearly 90 years after its original release, this edition includes a new introduction by Golden Age crime expert Dr. John Curran, offering fresh insights into a narrative that has long puzzled readers and detectives alike.
