«Enigma para locos» is the mystery novel by Patrick Quentin, published by Bruguera in paperback (124 pages, in Spanish).
In an expensive and exclusive psychiatric sanatorium, the voices patients hear are attributed to psychology, but the written messages have no clinical justification. The appearance of a sadistically murdered corpse defies all explanation and unleashes an escalation of intrigue and terror.
First installment of the Peter Duluth Mystery series; its original title is A Puzzle for Fools (1936). This Bruguera edition is part of the Club del Misterio collection, number 32.
For fans of classic detective mystery and the golden age of the genre.
Patrick Quentin, Q. Patrick and Jonathan Stagge were pen names under which Hugh Callingham Wheeler, Richard Wilson Webb, Martha Mott Kelley and Mary Louise White Aswell wrote detective fiction. In some foreign countries their books have been published under the variant Quentin Patrick. Most of the stories were written by Webb and Wheeler in collaboration, or by Wheeler alone. Their most famous creation is the amateur sleuth Peter Duluth. In 1963, the story collection The Ordeal of Mrs. Snow was given a Special Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America. In 1949, the book Puzzle for Pilgrims won the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière International Prize, the most prestigious award for crime and detective fiction in France.
