The room was on the fourth floor, and the key on the inside. The windows were closed and fastened - on the inside. The chimney was too narrow for a cat to get through. So how did the murderer escape? And whose were the two angry voices heard by the neighbours as they ran up the stairs? Nobody in Paris could find any answers to this mystery.
Except Anguste Dupin, who could see further and think more clearly than other people. The answers to the mystery were all there, but only a clever man could see them.

História policial que inspirou clássicos

Edgar Allan Põe apresentou nesta curta história policial um detetive brilhante e sagaz que serviu de inspiração para as histórias de Sherlock Holmes (Arthur C. Doyle), Hercule Poirot (Agatha Christie) e tantos outros romances polícias e de mistério.
O detetive Auguste Dupin investiga o misterioso e brutal duplo assassinato de mãe e filha em um apartamento na Rua Morgue. As testemunhas não foram capazes de distinguir o idioma que o suspeito falava e na cena do crime foi encontrado um cabelo que não parece ser humano.
