Monte Verita was once the site of a famous avant-garde community attracting celebrities such as Isadora Duncan, Carl Jung and Thomas Mann. Legend has it that its leader had himself sealed in a grotto in the hillside; when it was unsealed, he had vanished.
It is now 1938, and nearby Ascona is hosting a conference on the locked room mystery. A number of the participants are secretly agents for the Great Powers, jockeying for position on the eve of World War II. One of them accepts a challenge to be sealed in the same grotto and escape, but before he can do so, he is himself the victim of a spectacular impossible crime.
Bill Pronzini, one of the current masters of the genre writes: ‘I enjoyed The Riddle of Monte Verita. The “impossible” situations are quite ingeniously devised, developed, and explained. The author’s knowledge and love of the genre are admirable, and his skill would certainly have been applauded by the undisputed master of the impossible crime story, John Dickson Carr.’
The author of this complex and elegantly written mystery has been honoured by the Acadamie Française and the Cannes Film Festival for his work. This is his first novel, and the fourth publication of Locked Room International, dedicated to bringing top-quality locked room and impossible crime stories to lovers of the genre. Previous books in this series: The Lord of Misrule, The Fourth Door, and The Seven Wonders of Crime, all by Paul Halter, France’s master of the impossible mystery. Planned for later in 2012: The Demon of Dartmoor and The Invisible Circle, both by Paul Halter, and The Killing Needle by Henri Cauvin. For more information contact pugmire1@yahoo.com

如果早幾天讀到這本書,它絕對可以躋身我的年度Top 10榜單!這纔是真正的腦殘粉緻敬作啊!一本書裏neta瞭卡爾n部作品,還有一部名作(由於可能泄底,不方麵在此透露)雙重解答,一個是復雜美一個是簡單美,雖然都是老梗但還是讓人覺得非常齣色,遺憾的是故事開頭節奏稍微有些緩慢,不過很快齣現瞭情節轉摺和我們熟悉的各種橋段,黃金時期的粉絲和卡爾粉絲必看!PS:感謝John Pugmire的翻譯!

評分仿的味道還行,但故事本身太無聊瞭(同樣是模仿看看人傢霍爾特怎麼安排戲劇性),開頭35%長篇大論看的滿頭黑綫。總之怎麼講,萬一哪天咱齣推理坑瞭,一定是這種打著復興古典本格旗號灌水的作傢害的……
