"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It has been described as the first modern detective story.

Introducing to literature the concept of applying reason to solving crime, these tales brought Poe fame and fortune. Years later, Dorothy Sayers would describe "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" as "almost a complete manual of detective theory and practice."

Today, the unique Dupin stories still stand out as utterly engrossing page-turners.
