Carter Dickson

Carter Dickson was the pen name of John Dickson Carr (1906-1977), an American-born mystery writer who is widely regarded as the greatest exponent of the locked-room mystery in the history of detective fiction. Writing as both Carr and Dickson, he created dozens of "impossible crime" puzzles that have baffled and delighted mystery readers for nearly a century. Blind Man's Hood is one of his classic mystery stories, showcasing his unmatched ingenuity in constructing crimes that appear to be physically impossible. Carr's genius lay in creating mysteries where the solution was always fair — all the clues were there — but fiendishly difficult to spot. Available as both a book and an audiobook, Carter Dickson's mysteries offer brilliant listening and reading for fans of classic detective fiction and puzzle mysteries who enjoy the supreme challenge of trying to solve the unsolvable.
