Sobre IBD

Two plus two makes four, not some of the time, but all of the time. That’s the creed of The Thinking Machine, Jacques Futrelle’s classic crime and puzzle solver, who uses logic to solve mysteries and the power of his focused mind to think through knotty situations. This first volume has 27 short stories, including the famous 'escape from prison' puzzle, The Problem of Cell 13.
