John Dickson Carr, the undisputed master of the locked-room mystery, chronicles the investigations of his series detective as he unravels a baffling murder case steeped in the city's unique Creole culture and occult traditions. The novel presents a richly atmospheric portrait of antebellum Louisiana, where superstition and sophistication collide in equal measure, and where the truth is buried beneath layers of deception and social tension. Carr's signature wit and ingenious plotting are on full display, delivering the kind of intricate, puzzle-box narrative that earned him his legendary reputation. Fans of classic detective fiction and historical mysteries alike will find this a thoroughly satisfying and evocative entry in the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887947362523,"sku":"2026100004987-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b16c7fd4-35d7-4312-9d56-dae80e0b4109.png?v=1781750233","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100004987-secondhand-papa-la-bas","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
