«Il problema della cella n°13» is the mystery story by Jacques Futrelle, published by Polillo in paperback (60 pages, in Italian).
Professor Van Dusen, nicknamed «the Thinking Machine», accepts an impossible challenge: to escape from a maximum-security cell using only his intelligence, with no contact with the outside. Between iron bars, stone walls and constant surveillance, the story poses a logical puzzle whose solution the author left open to readers.
The story was serialized in the Boston American in 1905. This Italian edition, translated by Giovanni Viganò, belongs to the I bassotti collection.
For readers of classic mystery who appreciate logical puzzles and short stories.
