Description
About this book
"The dream detective" by Sax Rohmer is a collection of detective stories written in the early 20th century. It follows the eccentric, occult-leaning sleuth Moris Klaw and his sharp-witted daughter Isis as they unravel uncanny crimes often tied to museums, relics, and legends, accompanied by a skeptical inspector and a journalist-biographer. Expect locked-room puzzles, exotic lore, and audacious disguises. The opening of this collection presents two complete cases and the start of a third. First, a night watchman dies in a locked gallery at the Menzies Museum; Klaw’s “dream” method and keen observation reveal a booby‑trapped “Athenean Harp” that lethally pricks whoever lifts it after it has been played, and the culprit proves to be the curator’s sleepwalking daughter unknowingly setting events in motion.
