Two from John Dickson Carr (the master of the locked room mystery with his most celebrated work, The Hollow Man plus Patrick Butler for the Defence, a tense, legal mystery. Agatha Christie contributes Murder In The News, featuring four clever Poirot mysteries, plus her most quirky and unorthodox operator in Parker Pyne Investigates.
