Ett brutalt och oförklarligt mord på två kvinnor i Paris leder till gripandet av en oskyldig banktjänsteman. När den smått excentriske och exceptionellt begåvade C. Auguste Dupin läser om händelsen erbjuder han sin hjälp till polisen - och upptäcker snart att ingenting är som man trott.

Den publicerades första gången 1841 i tidskriften Graham's Magazine, och Dupin själv kom snart att utgöra en förlaga för berömda litterära detektiver som Sherlock Holmes och Hercule Poirot. Denna utgåva innehåller även de ytterligare två noveller Poe skrev om Dupin: »Mysteriet Marie Rogêt« [1842] och »Det försnillade brevet« [1844]. I svensk översättning av Anna Pyk.
