The selected stories start from a crime and pose a mystery whose resolution requires observation and deduction. The anthology invites readers to ask whether their interest stems from the intellectual satisfaction of identifying the culprit or from the sensationalist appeal of violence, and offers tools for analyzing the crime genre.

Aimed at literature students and readers interested in the crime genre, with didactic material for classroom work.
