Jacques Futrelle (1875-1912) is widely considered "e;the American Sherlock Holmes"e; 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.
