The Night of the Wolf

Paul Halter, whose â€œThe Crimson Fogâ€ was named #2 in Publisherâ€™s Weeklyâ€™s Top Mysteries of 2013 presents ten superb tales of locked rooms and impossible crimes.

Coffins dancing in a hermetically sealed crypt; a tunnel that murders people; a werewolf killer who leaves no trace on the snow; a victim killed by an invisible hand at the top of a guarded tower; a homicidal snowman that kills in front of witnesses...there cannot be a rational explanation for these and other hideous crimes; and yet there is. Each story is a glittering example of the brilliant plotting and atmosphere of foreboding that characterized the Golden Age of detective fiction, of which Paul Halter is the current master.

This is a republication of the original â€œThe Night of the Wolf,â€ which garnered critical acclaim when it first came out in 2006:

Publisherâ€™s Weekly (*starred review): "Most of the 10 outstanding stories in this collection from French author Halter, the first English-language edition of his work, center on an impossible crime, a still potent subgenre that was once a fixture of last century's golden age of detective fiction.â€

Mystery Scene: â€œThis is the most important collection of locked room stories in years, and fans of brilliant puzzlesâ€¦.will love it.â€

Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine: â€œFor the devotee of locked rooms, impossible
crimes, and other features of classical detective fiction, reading these stories is like discovering
a hitherto unknown cache of tales by G.K. Chesterton or John Dickson Carr."

Ed Hoch, himself a prolific contributor to EQMM: â€œAs Paul Halter's stories begin reaching
American readers in EQMM and elsewhere, I think they'll discover a combination of baffling
mystery and eerie atmosphere not encountered since the glory days of John Dickson Carr.â€

One of the stories â€œThe Flower Girlâ€ was short-listed for the Barry award for best short story of the year 2006

â€œThe Night of the Wolfâ€ collection, not to be confused with the short story of the same name, is also available in e-book form via Kindle, and hardcover Signed and Lettered editions are available by contacting [email protected]
