Six Crimes Without a Murderer (eBook)

Pierre Boileau (1906-89) was a renowned crime writer, best known for the disorienting psychological thrillers he penned with Thomas Narcejac, including Vertigo, famously adapted for film by Alfred Hitchcock. Six Crimes Without a Murderer was written by Boileau alone, before his collaboration with Narcejac. First published in 1939, it introduces the ingenious detective André Brunel and is considered a timeless classic in the field of the locked room mystery. Vertigo is also available from Pushkin Vertigo. Louise Rogers Lalaurie is a writer and translator from French, whose translations include Frédéric Dard's The King of Fools and The Inspector of Strange and Unexplained Deaths by Olivier Barde-Cabuçon, both published by Pushkin Vertigo. Her work has been shortlisted for the Best Translated Book Award, the Jan Michalski Prize for Literature and the Crime Writers Association International Dagger.
