The Detection Club Livres
Ces auteurs, membres du Detection Club nouvellement formé, ont collaboré à un roman en 1931, chacun contribuant un chapitre et d'autres le prologue et l'épilogue. Leur effort collectif visait à créer un mystère complexe, repoussant les limites du genre. Cette création partagée souligne un engagement envers la narration innovante et l'art du suspense. Les œuvres de figures telles que G.K. Chesterton et Agatha Christie demeurent des piliers de la littérature policière.
