Great Cases of the Thinking Machine

Jacques Futrelle was way ahead of his time. I remember when I first read some of his stories, how they seemed so "Modern" with talk of Computers, and Scientific, AND Futuristic things. Jacques Futrelle was very, very famous in his day, and perhaps would have wrote many more great books, unfortunately he was one of the many, many souls that lost his life on the ship you all have heard so much about...The Titanic. So sad that after being so well known in his time, he is all but forgotten now.

This collection of Thinking Machine stories is the classic American analog to Sherlock Holmes. The author develops the logical detective model and these stories are a must-read for all true lovers of the mystery genre. The author died on the Titanic.
