Death-Watch

Gimlet-eyed, portly, and brilliant, Dr. Gideon Fell is an accomplished amateur sleuth whose intellect and uncanny powers of detection instill fear in the criminals of London. Only taking cases that concern his friends or tickle his intellect, Fell relishes locked-room mysteries, slapstick comedies, and English beer. Fell appears in nearly two dozen of John Dickson Carr’s beloved Golden Age mysteries.
