How can a man drown in a hot air balloon? Can a boxcar disappear off a moving train, and is it possible for flying horses on a merry-go-round to fly away? These are just some of the impossible crimes Detective Heinz Noonan, the Bearded Holmes, is called upon to solve. Every story has all the clues necessary to see if you can solve the impossible crime as fast as the detective! (And if you can't, you'll have to read to the end of the story!) Want more! Then there's the mystery of why anyone would steal water from a water truck night after night. And why would someone steal 40 pairs of shoes from a thrift store? How could 16 bars of gold vanish from a vault, and how is a vegetarian anaconda part of a robbery scheme? Here are 15 short stories of impossible crimes to give you the chance to prove you are brighter than the detective!
Autorenporträt
Steven Levi is the author of more than 100 books, half of them on Alaska. His subject matter includes humor, scholarly history, and impossible crimes. An impossible crime is one where the detective has to figure out HOW the crime was committed before he can go after the perpetrators. For Alaska history, he specializes in scholarly research to make sure what he writes is based on the facts. For example, his book on Archie Ferguson is based on more than 20 years of research, almost 100 interviews, and the reading of every newspaper which covered Ferguson's colorful career. This work is significant for the historian because it catalogs the transition of a frontier community to a community as the 'fences of civilization' were being constructed.
