Death Invites You

Did Harold Vickers, the best-selling author of impossible crimes foresee his own death, or did he possibly even arrange it? When two guests knock on her door with dinner invitations, Mrs. Vickers is dumbfounded, for her husband has been locked in his study for several days. Yet there are sounds and cooking smells emanating from the room, and when the door is broken down, a dead body resembling her husband is slumped over the fully-laden dinner table with its hands and face in a pan in which the oil is still boiling. The room is sealed and nobody could have got out of the room without being seen, yet the food is still cooking. A mysterious half-filled bowl of water sits beneath the shuttered windows. What connection is there with the death of his own father, who also died slumped over the table and promised to return from the grave to revenge his own death? Or the Lonely Hearts killer who recently terrorized London before committing suicide. This is LRIâ€™s eleventh Paul Halter translation. The author, a best-selling novelist in his native France, has written over thirty novels, almost all â€˜locked roomâ€™ or â€˜impossible crime,â€™ and is widely regarded as the successor to John Dickson Carr. He appeared on BBC Radio 4â€™s program â€˜Miles Jupp in a Locked Room,â€™ broadcast on May 21, 2012. An earlier novel â€˜The Crimson Fogâ€™ was named one of Publisherâ€™s Weeklyâ€™s Top Mysteries of 2013. Locked Room International also translates and publishes the works of other international impossible crime authors past and present.
