The Matter of the Bandersnatch Burglar

Heinz Noonan Impossible Crime Short Stories

Beschreibung

How can a man drown in a hot air balloon? Can a boxcar disappear off a moving train, and is it possible for flying horses on a merry-go-round to fly away? These are just some of the impossible crimes Detective Heinz Noonan, the Bearded Holmes, is called upon to solve. Every story has all the clues necessary to see if you can solve the impossible crime as fast as the detective! (And if you can't, you'll have to read to the end of the story!) Want more! Then there's the mystery of why anyone would steal water from a water truck night after night. And why would someone steal 40 pairs of shoes from a thrift store? How could 16 bars of gold vanish from a vault, and how is a vegetarian anaconda part of a robbery scheme? Here are 15 short stories of impossible crimes to give you the chance to prove you are brighter than the detective!

Autor

Steve Levi has spent more than 40 years researching and writing about Alaska's history. He specializes in the ground-level approach to history. An excellent example of his in-the-weeds approach is Bonfire Saloon, a saloon-level book of authentic Alaska Gold Rush characters in a Nome saloon on March 3, 1903. His book, The Human Face of the Alaska Gold Rush, is a compendium of people and events usually left out of scholarly books. For fiction, he specializes in the 'impossible crime,' where the detective must figure out HOW the crime was committed before he can go after the perpetrators. For example, in The Matter of the Vanishing Greyhound, the detective must determine how a Greyhound bus can vanish off the Golden Gate Bridge and, in The Matter of the Departed Diamonds, how $3 million in diamonds can disappear from a locked bank vault.
