Jacques Futrelle (1875-1912) is widely considered "the American Sherlock Holmes" for his series of stories about Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, who is better known as The Thinking Machine. Van Dusen, a master of logic, believed he could think himself out of any situation -- and solve any crime -- using his immense intellect. Through dozens of stories, The Thinking Machine solved locked-room puzzles, kidnappings, and more murders than can be easily counted, proving again and again that brain-power is the answer to any problem. This volume collects 47 short stories and novels, including many stories featuring The Thinking Machine. Assembled here are: THE THINKING MACHINE MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THE GREAT LOGICIAN THE GREAT AUTO MYSTERY THE HAUNTED BELL THE LEAK THE PROBLEM OF CELL 13 THE MYSTERY OF THE RALSTON BANK BURGLARY MYSTERY OF THE SCARLET THREAD A PIECE OF STRING PROBLEM OF THE CRYSTAL GAZER THE FATAL CIPHER PROBLEM OF THE PERFECT ALIBI KIDNAPPED BABY BLAKE, MILLIONAIRE PROBLEM OF THE LOST RADIUM PROBLEM OF THE MISSING NECKLACE THE PHANTOM MOTOR PROBLEM OF CONVICT NO. 97 THE FIRST PROBLEM PROBLEM OF THE GREEN EYED MONSTER PROBLEM OF THE HIDDEN MILLION PROBLEM OF THE OPERA BOX PROBLEM OF THE CROSS MARK PROBLEM OF THE BROKEN BRACELET PROBLEM OF THE SOUVENIR CARDS PROBLEM OF THE SUPERFLUOUS FINGER THE CASE OF THE SCIENTIFIC MURDERER PROBLEM OF THE DESERTED HOUSE MYSTERY OF THE FLAMING PHANTOM PROBLEM OF THE GHOST WOMAN MYSTERY OF THE GOLDEN DAGGER THE GRINNING GOD MYSTERY OF THE GRIP OF DEATH THE JACKDAW MYSTERY OF THE MAN WHO WAS LOST THE MYSTERY OF A STUDIO PROBLEM OF THE ORGAN GRINDER\ PROBLEM OF THE PRIVATE COMPARTMENT THE PROBLEM OF THE AUTO CAB PROBLEM OF THE RED ROSE THE ROSWELL TIARA THE THREE OVERCOATS THE TRAGEDY OF THE LIFE RAFT PROBLEM OF THE VANISHING MAN PROBLEM OF THE INTERRUPTED WIRELESS THE CHASE OF THE GOLDEN PLATE THE DIAMOND MASTER ELUSIVE ISABEL And don't forget to search this ebook store for "Wildside Megapack" (or just "Megapack" if "Wildside Megapack" doesn't work) to see all the entries in Wildside's Megapack series -- including volumes of science fiction, fantasy, horror, mystery, westerns, and much, much more!
