The popular master of the “cool” detective, who also has extraordinary literary abilities, Raymond Chandler does not need to be introduced. But the famous Austrian writer and playwright Friedrich Dürrenmatt is little known to our readers, and yet the work presented in the collection has the subtitle “A departure from the detective genre.” The name Bret Halliday is still new in the book world, but it promises a lot of interesting things. Charles Exbreya, who has his own voice in the world of detective stories, will also be a discovery. The book is intended for the general reader.
