The golden age of detective fiction gave us many stellar names. The works of such writers as Agatha Christie, G. K. Chesterton, Earl Stanley Gardner, Rex Stout developed and refined the detective genre; their novels, unconditionally recognized as classics, are still loved by readers to this day and serve as a benchmark of quality for subsequent generations of authors of detective stories. A well-deserved place in this constellation belongs to John Dixon Carr (1906–1977), a virtuoso master of perfectly constructed “impossible crimes in a locked room.”

The novel “The Skeleton in the Clock” continues the series of books about the magnificent Sir Henry Merrivale—an engaging, eccentric, hot-tempered fat man who, as critics have acknowledged, has become one of the most unconventional detectives in detective literature.
